A band that we supported called Blackfish in Manchester, played the most insane gig I've ever been to. Everything was set on fire, and then they came on and played one of the coolest gigs I've ever seen.

There's a lot that's happened in my life that maybe I didn't want to happen, but I suppose it's led me to exactly where I am now.

I'm not reading any novels right now, though not for lack of trying. Unless they're really good, my attention in most novels tends to sputter out after a hundred pages or so - an awful admission for someone who is trying to write one, but it's true.

There's no coherent stylistic genre specific advice that I could provide.

Everything that we've ever done has led up to this moment, so I presume there's a certain intricacy in that.

Life's too short to drink crappy coffee and cry over boys who don't care.

At the moment we're playing more stuff from our upcoming album which is really a departure from any record we've done.
