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

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

I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.

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

I listened to a lot of bands that were happening at the time, but no one in particular.
