good question. i think the thing is you need to be realistic about your sound. Music like ours generally isn't suitable for 10,000 people off their nuts at a festival. And we're ok with that. If trying to be Andy C is your aim there's no point writing esoteric music, you need to go all out. But no, we have no interest in that. The sort of music they play in gyms isn't the sort of music that speaks to us. As Morrisey once sang, "the music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life".

That's ok! Yes we all have day jobs as well so the music and label work gets done at night and the gigs at weekends (obviously). Not so much time to sleep, that's for sure. We possibly could survive from music if we really wanted to, but that's not an avenue any of us really want to go down. It's a path that's littered with compromise and shit synthesizer riffs.

yes hello this is mates
