EP title? Love Songs Till Midnight
Where did the title of your new EP come from? I just remember hearing that on the radio once when I was a kid. 
How many releases do you have now? This is our first one, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
How long did it take to write/record? We spent one day setting up and placing mics, then five days recording, doing live takes, trying to catch lightning in a bottle, as Tom Petty would say.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? I love old songs. Classic pop, garage and soul. British Invasion meets late '70s UK, LA, NY punk bands. Spectre, girl groups, all the great stuff. Music made by people.
What's your favourite song on it? I have a soft spot for I love you so, because it sounds like something from back then.
Will you do anything differently next time?  Recording live to tape really translates our sound. So we will always work that way I would say.
