Q |
How would you describe the band’s sound? |

It’s usually better if we don’t try. It’s loud and noisy. |

Q |
How do you approach your song writing and what is your lyrical theme/content? |

Obliquely. We sneak up on the song and murder it. The words are Generation-X odes to self pity. |

We don’t talk about melody. Matt writes sentences; Mark writes paragraphs. |

Q |
What has been your best gig so far, and why is it so memorable? | ||||||||||||||||||||

“Garden Party” - Marillion |
