You spend your time thinking about that and you get lost in reflection.
It was 2002, we all got guitars for Christmas and started playing in my garage that summer, rehearsed there and in a warehouse for a bit for about a year. We did our first gig in June 2003 and we played a few gigs in and around Sheffield for a bit then started doing gigs outside of Sheffield about this time last year, recording demos while all this was going on.
I took the batteries out my mysticism And put them in my thinking cap
There is always that one band that comes along when you are 14 or 15 years old that manages to hit you in just the right way and changes your whole perception of things
I just wanted to do something that would freak people out. That's the best thing to do.
There's that 15 quid we put on One Direction to win down the drain.
That rock and roll, eh? That rock and roll, it just won't go away. It might hibernate from time to time, sink back into the swap. I think the cyclical nature of the universe in which it exists demands that acquiesce to some of its rules. But it's always waiting there, just around the corner, ready to make its way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling, looking better than ever. Yeah, that rock and roll, it seems like it's faded away sometimes, but it will never die. And there's nothing you can do about it
A lot of peopletell me I'm a bit dreamy, but I like the idea of that. Of being somewhere else.
Rock'n'roll will never go away completely because it's so fundamentally attractive.
Sometimes writing songs is like waiting for deliveries.
I've come to recognize songwriting as something that I do, and I want to be good at that. At that craft, if you like. I want to practice it.
I saw that something changed in terms of the way I approach writing. I don't know. Before, everything was just sort of pieced together; and more and more nowadays I'll have complete songs - chords, lyrics, a melody - and we'll apply to those songs what we feel is required. That has happened much more on Humbug album than on any of the others.
I think each thing in a way acts as a stepping - stone for whatever the next thing is.
You can't worry what people think.
