How did you get together? We’ve known each other for ages since the All-You-Can-Eat Pizza Hut days and playing in other bands, but it didn’t satisfy us like how writing as Hurst does.
Sum up your musical sound in four words? Raw energetic loud rock.
If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? Jack White. Yes. He does whatever the hell he wants with every record/band he puts out. I love that.
You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? Queen – Greatest Hits. There is a song that would perfectly ace every possible moment I could experience in the desolation and wonder of the universe. “I’m burning through the sky yeah...”
Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? We headlined a folk singer-songwriter night at a venue that publicly discloses that they don’t like loud bands and blew the roof off – in a good way. It was early on, so the great crowd response was so encouraging.
Why should people come and see your band? Because if you don’t a baby pizza will die.
When and where for your next gig? 16 Jan; headlining at Brighton Up Bar with a bunch of handpicked local rock guns.
