1. The First Song I Wrote
It was a seriously cringe-worthy tune called Soon. I wrote it when I was about 14 years old and yes, it was a teen love song. I did get asked to play it for the old folks at the local retirement home… it must’ve been suitable for sending people to sleep.
2. The Last Song I Released
Golden Dream: it’s the first taste from our new record coming out later this year and we’re really proud of it. The song was a collaboration with Kram from Spiderbait, which was an incredible writing experience.
3. Songwriting Secrets
I honestly feel that every time we write a song it’s a fluke. We generally like to just jam as a band from a small idea that someone brings into our shed where we write. I find it easier to come up with a melody and lyrics after we have the music, however, I have recently been focusing a lot more on lyrics in my own time, which has been really beneficial for me.
4. The Song That Makes Me Proud
I think my proudest song will be forever changing as I grow as a musician and songwriter. Life and experiences are what makes great songs, so I think that the more I live and experience, the better my songs will be.
5. The Song That Changed My Life
My all time favourite song is Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Through my whole life it has been a song I have been inspired by. This song ticks all the boxes for me – a great riff, groove, an insane freak-out section and wailing vocals.
