"Some were clearly not as polished as we’d come to expect of ourselves now, so those songs were put on the backburner for us to work on later."

“Oh man, my dad was feeding me Blue Tears and Black Sabbath at a pretty young age."

“Working with those two guys there... they’re characters. But when it’s time to get serious and get some serious sounds they’re absolute professionals."

"Things are good; busy back to routine after being away and getting back into writing – we’re writing the second record at the moment."

"We’ve always been pitched as a heart-on-your-sleeve sort of band, and I think you’ll really see it this time."

“A lot of people would make jokes or doubt that a Something For Kate record was capable of doing that, so I’m really happy to hear that you find it uplifting."

“I didn’t purposefully do it, but it’s always good to do something a little bit different to the last album.”

"For the first year we went through a time when we didn’t really know whether we wanted to keep making the type of music we were making before we moved to Melbourne."

“I think dance music and club nights are in their best form when there is no sheen. I’m not really making a conscious choice to look the way I do.”

"I do what I do – and I let myself be influenced by whatever music’s exciting me at the time."

"It’s exactly what I would want from a studio because it’s pretty haphazard; there are instruments all around the place and it has a natural sort of sound."
