Pick 5 BRITISH artists that you love before reading the questions
- Futures
- You Me At Six
- Biffy Clyro
- We Are The Ocean
- Stereophonics
What was the first song you ever heard by 1 (Futures)?
I think it was… The Boy Who Cried Wolf? And then I listened to the rest of that album and just thought it was awesome.
What is your favorite song of 4 (We Are The Ocean)?
I have no idea! They’re all so good. I’ll go for Trials and Tribulations or Before I Die.
What kind of impact has 1 (Futures) left on your life?
Not a massively big impact as with some other bands, but I love having a Summer band where you can just chill out in the sun and play all the songs.
What are your favorite lyrics of 5 (Stereophonics)?
“And all the friends lay down the flowers, sit on the banks and drink for hours, talk of the way they say him last, local boy in photograph, today.” The lyrics are based around the death of one of the local boys from the town, and how the community reacts because of how tight a small town is. It’s really well written.
How many times have you seen 4 (We Are The Ocean) live?
None so far :( But hopefully seeing them at Download 2012!
What is your favourite song by 2 (You Me At Six)?
I think it has to be Save It For the Bedroom, either that or Takes One To Know One.
Is there any song by 3 (Biffy Clyro) that makes you sad?
Machines in a way, just because it’s so… I don’t know, but it doesn’t make me sad everytime I listen to it! I tend to avoid songs that make me sad…
What is your favourite song by 1 (Futures)?
I think it’s Holiday, because it just reminds me of Summer and good times!

In… 2008/9? They were my favourite band when I was growing up, and I just remember watching them of Kerrang! and thinking… wow, they’re really good!
How did you get into 3 (Biffy Clyro)?
I think it must have been through Sam. He just gave me a mix tape and I liked them, so I looked them up during their Puzzle years.
What is your favourite song by 5 (Stereophonics)?
Thousand Trees or Local Boy in Photograph. Anything from Word Gets Around just reminds me of my mother.
How many times have you seen 2 (You Me At Six) live?
I saw them last week! This time last week, I’d actually be listening to them! How weird!
