Just getting out of your town seems to be a pervasive thing in England. But I don't want to keep grinding the axe forever, it's boring.

I understand why there's a natural suspicion of the "Next Big British Band."

When I was growing up in Wakefield in the 90s I would get in fights for carrying a guitar around.

No one wants to be some guy who puts records out about how good it is. That seems quite arrogant.

It's weird for me to try and write punk songs - I'm almost scared of it.
