“It’s there forever. It’s there as a representation of me as a person. I wanted to do something different and just really wanted to make something that was exciting, something that when I’m older I can look back on and not have any regrets about, know what I mean? Something that I knew that in years and years to come, I knew I can still be proud of.”

“I’ve been in loads of bands over the years. Always rock bands; a grunge band at high school and then a hardcore band after that, then a rock ‘n’ roll band and then a punk band before an indie type of one. I love pop music and I remember that in the last band I was in, I was really wanting to experiment with melodies and pop stuff; it was really where my head was at.
