Cord at the Norwich Arts Centre in 2004.

record new material and re-record old tracks.
Who are the bands/ artists that inspire you?
The truth is that none of us have the same musical tastes – there
isn’t one mutual influence that we all agree on
Tell us about your chosen songs
Jack Cracked the Safe is about coping with and becoming resiliant
to an impossible situation that you cannot control (in this case
the song is about a child in an abusive situation who uses an imaginary
world to take him out of his otherwise difficult life). It’s
also about how you can use the experience to make you stronger.
Ambulance
is about someone whose life hasn't worked out the way they would
haved liked. Rather than trying to sort it out themselves,
they instead look to the person they are in a relationship with to
try and pull them out of it.
The more dependent they become on that person the more damaged they
(and the relationship becomes) to the point where they no longer
function together.
The song is about not relying on the person you love as the sole
solution to all your problems, no matter how much they are prepared
to help you.
What’s been the highlight of your musical career?
Headlining and playing to a capacity crowd at the Norwich Arts Centre
this year.
What’s your number one ambition in music?
To get signed and go as far as we can with our music.
