“[My dad] made me get up and I rapped a verse in front of them, and they lost their crap, basically. They loved it, which was an amazing feeling – I’d been listening to all those guys since I was about five years old.”

"I have a whole bunch of new songs under my belt and am ready to just get it done. This time around it feels so much more comfortable."

“I wrote the lyrics about my great aunt, who is quite ill and is a very inspiring figure. The song still has drive, particularly when performed live.”

“I’ve been writing anti-suicide messages since 2006, and it just didn’t cross my mind that people would take it the wrong way.”

"It’s actually a real priority for us to stick out like that... You know, I think we take a lot of pride in how we tackle our sound and how we tackle our lyric writing."
