Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

I look really odd in jeans and a hoodie - it doesn't feel or seem right.

Growing up, I always wanted to be in punk bands, so I'm really enjoying the harder, heavier element. It's always been my dream to have people moshing at my gig, kind of that really feral element of the music coming out more. I love crowd-surfing.

I have this sensation of being in flight all the time, but being on stage is like creating a sanctuary in which you can completely lose yourself. The bits of your personality that you keep under wraps in ordinary life, you can let them run free.

I've been thinking about songwriting more in terms of playing it live, and how it will sound as a band.

'Dog Days' was recorded with pens and the wall, and half a stolen drum kit that was out of tune, in what was basically a cupboard. The only instrument I could really play was my voice, so we just layered everything a hundred times. It was enthusiasm over skill.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.
