Dale: Muse
David: CROWDS
Finlay: Jack White
Tom: U2. I'm not even ashamed of it. U2 are great. Judge me all you want.
4. Five words to describe your band
Dale: Lazy. First one sorted.
Tom: Uncool. Hear me out here. Some of the best bands and musicians were uncool. Like David Bowie, ultimately uncool but that made him cool. Let's go with that anyway.
David: Brash. We write what we wanna write. We don't care about styling or fitting into a certain genre. We just do what comes to us.
Finlay: After the row about this I'm gonna go with indecisive.
Dale: We couldn't sound much cooler, could we?
5. Where would you write your best song?
Tom: We write most of our songs in my living room. A couple on my staircase too.
6. Band snack?
David: Me and Tom love Wasabi.
Finlay: KFC or MacDonalds on the way back from a gig.
Tom: We're a very healthy band.
Finlay: Fajitas.
Dale: Oh my god Fin is a good cook. Awesome lasagne. If only he could play the guitar as well as he cooks.
7. Where would you most like to play?
Tom: Glastonbury is the obvious one, but we'd love to do festivals in general.
David: Yeah, like Rock in Rio.
8. Which is your best song?
Tom: It changes every day but right now we all love ‘Wild Love’. It's new and fun to play.
9. Do you have any pre-gig routines?
Tom: I walk and pace about a lot. Even if it's raining I still get outside and walk everything off. A lot of bands stay in their rooms and get drunk or get hyped but we like to keep calm and together before we go out on stage.
Finlay: Yeah, I mainly sit on my phone and relax or check out whoever is playing before us.
