Our parents were musicians.

Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.

I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing.

We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.

In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.

A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.
