1. Are you happy how things have gone for the band?
We are extremely happy with how things have gone so far. It has been a pretty organic growth for us. And we are in a pretty amazing place right now. There is amazing team working with us on the release of our new EP and upcoming national tour and we have some ripping shows lined up in the coming months.
2. What was the inspiration behind the new release?
If we are talking about subject matter within the songs, then every day life and the experiences we all have and share. Whether it be relationships, work or our experiences as a band within in the industry have all given inspiration in one way or another.
Musically, we draw inspiration from a broad range of bands and musicians. The four of us listen to everything from country artists like Justin Townes Earle to punk rock acts like The Clash, and todays Against Me!
3. What inspires the band when writing music?
As mentioned above, usually what is happening around us at the time we are writing. The experiences we are having in life or the music we are listening to at that specific time.
4. What have been some of your favorite shows to date?
We were lucky enough to be taken on the road with one of our favourite bands Trial Kennedy on their Final Shows Tour. This included a sold out show at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel. That show was just mental and such a privilege for us to be a part of!
5. How does having a record label in your mind help the band?
Our relationship with our label Tentotwo Records if fairly new but such a blessing for us as a band. They are the best people and have taught us so much already. The label looks after and amazing little roster of acts so its really humbling to be part of such a great little family. They are getting our music out to people and places we would not have even thought of so its all pretty exciting!
6. Who has been the greatest help to the band?
Our family at Tentotwo Records and the 123 Agency. Hadyn Buxton who produced our EP and Seam Lam from Paris is Patient for all her amazing work.
7. If you could have any body in a video clip who would it be?
David Boon or Bob Hawk. Legendary beer drinking skills those blokes!
8. What does 2014 mean to the band?
It has been a great year and it looks like it is just going to get better. Releasing our new EP and then shows, shows and more shows!!
9. Who would you most like to work with?
Carlton United Breweries…or maybe The Big Day Out or Soundwave Festivals.
