What is your single Dead Forever about? It’s a reflection of many people’s inability to be at peace with the prospect of no life after death. The verses are about old friends and lovers that lost their way through destructive means, and wondering whether things would’ve been different if they did find that peace.
Do you approach live performance differently to recording and production? They’re two different beasts. We love being able to examine everything under a microscope in the studio, scrutinise details and pre-empt reactions. But the live show is the instant culmination of all that work.
When creating music together, are there any rituals that you follow? No documented ritual as such, just a genuine excitement when we get together, which makes the ideas and writing flow organically. Productive jamming is having a laugh, having a few bevies, cranking some riffs and turning it up.
How do you see the band’s “brand”? We are influenced by everything and nothing at the same time. Our brand/sound is about freedom to make music for music’s sake, without adhering to genre specific clichés.
You were voted Cherry Bar’s Band Of The Year 2015. What did this accolade mean to you? It was about being recognised as contributing to an already burgeoning rock music scene that we are so fortunate to have here in Melbourne, and that gives us fuel to keep going no matter the obstacles.
