The band recently sat down with Soundtrack for a quick interview:
ST: What did MTV mean to you when you were growing up? What does it mean to you now?
SS: My memories of MTV growing up are of attractive girls dancing whilst wearing denim short shorts, MTV crop tops and sun glasses. I see MTV now as an iconic figure that has helped launch the careers of many bands with the added bonus of attractive girls wearing short shorts, crop tops and sun glasses.
ST: What artist/band has influenced you the most?
SS: The Foo Fighters are probably the biggest influence on our band. Their music doesn’t always effect our ‘sound’, instead I would say that we are more influenced by their stage presence and musical values.
ST: If you could work with any artist alive or dead, who would you pick?
SS: Obviously we would work with Michael Jackson. The guy was built to write and perform music! Who wouldn’t want to work with him? Plus, you could learn some fricking awesome dance moves at the same time.
ST: If you could be known for only one of your songs, which would you choose and why?
SS: I think ‘Stampede’. The song has got a light and a dark side. It shows off our dynamic abilities as a band. I think the lyrics are easily relatable to a huge number of situations as well. If we were only known for one song, I’d want it to be massively ambidextrous and that’s ‘Stampede’
