What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? This is an interesting question in as much as I was sorting through my loft the other day and found a piece of paper that my mum had kept from my time at infant school when I must have been given the task to write about what I did on the previous Christmas Day and I’d written that we’d had lunch and then listened to my new record, so in that sense I must have had music on my mind from a very early age and have certainly been collecting music since I was about the age of six. I knew from the age of about fourteen that I wanted to be in a band and just needed to find peers that felt the same way. That happened about two years later but from then I was hooked. If I’d never got into music, I’d still be involved in some way, maybe as a DJ? But I think the reality these days is that even the most successful artists out there have other projects and interests and I don’t think we’re any different in that respect as a band. We all have families, partners, children, dogs etc. The music is inspired by the things that we do when we’re not making music.
