[gallery type="slideshow" link="none" size="full" ids="150585,150586"] What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? - It was definitely when I was about 16 when I took a serious interest in music. I was in 6th form college at the time and a friend I had in school, Chris, played a bit guitar. He’d shown me how to play Wonderwall and from there we would spend hours at his Dads house playing guitar together. At school we’d go into the drama studios during breaks and grab the guitars from the music rooms and play, so whatever opportunity we had basically we’d be playing the guitar together! Our lead guitarist Dan has a musically trained background, I think he’s a grade 8 (or whatever the highest grade is) guitarist so it’s great when we put new tunes together how quickly he’ll pull something brilliant out his arse! Marty’s musical taste is very similar to mine and his first musical love was the likes of Oasis and The Stone Roses, but after that he was heavy into the drum and bass scene and regularly MC’d at north east drum and bass nights. Deano was already drumming in a band before he joined ours. His previous band, who I’ve seen a few times, played original tunes and sounded a lot like Muse, they were very good, then I sort of scouted him out and asked him to join my band, and he did!
