"I can honestly say this was the most unpleasant recording experience I’ve ever had; I pretty much hated almost every part of it."

"Although we like all our records, and I think we’ve done good stuff throughout our career, we recognise that the fans do consider those three records to be the classic – quote, unquote – Obituary albums."

“My music has always been experimental and kind of left-of-centre. I’ve always been genre-bending and flirting with electronic music – for the last nine years."

“The last time you saw us we were on the Big Day Out, so we get to do our show, which is a completely different thing. I mean, we love playing festivals; they’re a lot of fun."

“This instance wasn’t so much about me – the fact that I’m performing under my own name – it was more the fact that I didn’t want to come up with a name on the spot."

"To be quite honest, if we keep getting offered more shows I’ll probably be doing this stuff for the rest of my life.”

"Researching where to place mics, what mics to use. We wanted the record to sound like you were having that orchestral experience, sitting in a great sounding room.”

“In recent years that’s been what’s interesting to be in comedy, in that you can’t explain what is funny so eventually nobody will be able to explain, even journalists."

“I’ll be very honest, we’d never even played those songs for each other – we’d sent them back and forth via email, and that’s kind of how we do things."

"Fletcher from the band Pennywise at Soundwave 2011 was totally wasted and he got up on stage with The Bronx and started smashing up stuff. Then he smashed a bottle on the foldback and pulled up his shirt and started cutting his stomach on stage while people in the audience were just freaking out, going, “What the fuck is happening?”

"Her music seems to find you when you need it. It’s so raw and emotional and soul-baring and that’s why people connect with her so intimately."

"The colour red really frightened me for a while after I read the tale. I couldn’t look at it before bed, it was so scary."

"Think about the Tupac hologram, and all that it stands for. Tupac’s music career is still ongoing, almost 20 years after he died.”

“First of all what made me want to do it: It’s such strong writing. I was laughing off the page reading it in my bedroom and then I was weeping at the end."

“Obviously in other parts of the world genocide and ethnic cleansing are still occurring. It is so easy to shut our eyes, but this kind of thing is still happening."

"We’re really excited to be able to come out on tour and connect with our fanbases around the world. I’d say come out and see us, check your brain at the door and have a really great time.”

"I haven’t even held the sexy package in my hands, and we all know that the best feeling is a sexy package in the hands."

“I got a call from the promoter saying there was a possibility of doing these shows with these other guys and I just said ‘count me in’. The four of us know each other pretty well and we’ve worked together a lot over the years."

“It started when I was 17, 18 years old; it was my outlet to make rock and roll. My actual name doesn’t sound very rock and roll, so I needed something more exciting."

“That’s the great thing about things like Twitter: when we first started in a band, there was a million miles between us and the fanbase. You could never really directly have a conversation with them; it was just too difficult."

"We like to smoke cigarettes and drink vodka and sleep with girls… Everything is about the girls in the end.”

“We can’t be bothered to remember songs, even though some of us might prefer us to remember songs.”

"Without giving too much away, most of the band is likely to be doing DJing beforehand, so hopefully we’ll whip the crowd up before the band plays."

“Yeah, there was a time where there wasn’t any music around that really represented what we were interested in at all."

“It’s been really busy and I’m kind of exhausted but, at the same time, I like moving around all the time – it really keeps you on your toes."
