Album title? We Know You're Out There

Where did the title of your new album come from? It's actually a lyric from the song FAD, which is about our two-year search for a new drummer. If you didn't know what it's about, you'd probably think it's a kinky BDSM song.

How many releases do you have now? Two. This one's concept is about flow, with an upbeat, dynamic feel. Run Amuk was a celebration of chaotic randomness.

How long did it take to write/record? Too bloody long! We worked out that its development from go to woah took about 17,000 beer stubbies and 780 whiskey bottles. Not that we're alcoholics or anything, it just took a long time.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? An aim of the album's songwriting and recording/mixing was to have each song sound distinctly different from the rest. This involved using different combinations of drums, amps, guitars, basses, microphones, effects, rooms and mixing techniques.

What's your favourite song on it? We love all our babies equally, but some more equally than others. So the first video/single is for The Same Person.

Will you do anything differently next time? We will do EVERYTHING differently next time. Our next album will be written, recorded and mixed in one very sober day. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? 17 Nov, The Bendigo.
