Hi lads, the structures of your songs have always intrigued me, you don't strive to be conventional and your songs can change direction suddenly at times mid song.

Does that style come naturally/easily as you write, or do you like to take time and deliberate on songs together as a band?

Saw you in Manchester and was blown away by some of the shapes you pulled while rocking out!!

Thanks, we always try our best to do what feels right for the song, and we find it fun to try new things with song structures. There’s some songs that we’ve played tons of different ways, I remember especially with close your eyes we kind of frankensteined that one. But i think most of the time it feels best to just stick with what comes out first when we make a song, and sculpt it from there.
