What would you describe your music style as?
Michael: It’s indie-rock, there is nothing we want to sound like we just do what ever
And were not worried about being pigeon hold because it is indie-rock,
What inspires you?
Michael: Well the reason we work so well as a band is because we all have different influences. I like electronica and we listen to a lot of hip hop such as a “Tribe called Quest’. We all just have a lot of different things that we listen to James will listen to hip hop beats and garage rock tunes we are quite eclectic.
What venue would you most want to play?
Michael: The O2 academy in Bournemouth because it would be nice to play at home, as we always get asked to play in London so playing in our hometown having our own gig would be a highlight
Where do you see yourselves in the next few years?
Michael: There is either two ways. We could be the biggest band or the band that no-one remembers (highly unlikely guys)
If you could have written any song in the world what would it have been?
Michael:‘Oh Yoko!’ by ‘John Lennon’, even though I don’t love ‘Yoko Ono’ everything about it is amazing…but saying that any ‘Beetles’ song

Michael: ‘The Diner’ is a pretty cool place’
