Who are your main music influences?
So many different styles between the three of us, but mainly reggae, dance, soul and hip hop and decent rock n roll. Bands we all agree on are Oasis, the clash, the doors, kasabian and reverend and the makers

Any funny stories you'd like to share from gigging?
Funny stories, our gig at Tribfest earlier this year I snapped a string on my guitar within the 1st 20seconds of the 1st song, and later in the gig another 1 went leaving us with a 4 string guitar!

Who's your favourite British artist/band out right now?
I love the Palma Violets, reverend and the makers, a band called " young Kato" are cool but there seems to be bands with just a good song and when u listen to their albums, just a bit average really! I agree!

If you could come to Canada to play a show, where would be the first place you'd like to check out?
It would have to be Ottawa, simply so we could do the sightseeing as well, if you fancy booking us some flights we'd love to come and do a show for you haha. I'm on it boys lol!

I definitely owe the chaps a pint next time I'm home. Wishing the band all the best.
