Your new EP ‘W8 4 ME’ / ‘Dead Lonely’ is out at the end of the month. Can you tell us a bit about that?
It’s a guitar heavy machismo duo of tracks, both based around hedonistic and spiritual themes, bit filthy. And we’re dead pleased to release with RIP Records. It’s out 25th September
Listening to you I can hear bits of Britpop and also some heavier ‘grungier’ sounds – Who are your musical influences?
We listen to everything from ‘Sensations Fix’ to ‘5ive’ all the way up to ‘Industrial Terror Squad’ when we’re out and about so it all sinks in somehow
We’ve heard good things about your live shows – for those who are coming to one of your tour dates, what can we expect?
You can expect dual guitar shreds, nrg, trash, taxidermy cats, you might get lost in trance
What is your most Rock n Roll moment as a band so far?
During stage invasion our mates lung burst getting’ smacked in the chest whilst inflating a blow up doll. Fairly Rock n Roll

Keep an eye out for Konfrontation Records, Dogfood Music Group, Pink Film, Duds, Gang, DMAs, ‘n that
What would your Desert Island Disc be?
That would be the album ‘Kes Küsib?’
