"We just give it everything we’ve got. It may not always be in tune, it may not sound perfect, but that’s kind of the beauty of what we do as well, because it’s all about the energy and the experience that we create.”

"Shit, we’re living in this period of time, probably the most interesting, exciting and dangerous periods of human history, ever, you know? And, like, no one fucking sings about it."

"We just kind of combine it. It’s like a celebration and all of the music comes out, all these musicians go nuts and then I sit there with a microphone and say what I believe.”

"I’ve just been touring a lot for the last year and if I can just write a song or two and hang with my family when I’m home then I’m doing good.”

"There’s all of that stuff that I sing about – it’s definitely all reflecting the places that I live. Although I still sing about Melbourne a lot because I miss Melbourne so much, but New York’s definitely in the record."

“I’m really proud of the album. Whenever I write stuff I’m super critical of myself and it’s just the way that I am; I end up hating everything a few weeks later."

“Early on it was hard to get people to actually pay attention to the songs themselves; they’d often get a bit lost in the story of the whole thing, you know, our ages and stuff."

“In Cincinnati, Ohio we played in a wrestling ring, like you see on TV with the WWF and dudes jumping off the ropes and smashing through tables. It was pretty surreal to say the least."

“In a lot of ways I’m having my cake and eating it right now because I’ve got all the advantages of being in a band but at the same time I retain the sense of control that comes from being a solo artist…"

We have a chat with Endless Boogie guitarist Jesper Eklow.

“Being a debut record, we don’t know how to feel about it, we’ve lived with it for so long – all the reviews have been really encouraging so far."

“It’s a new learning experience, really – it’s like coming back into the industry and starting from scratch, with the exception [that] people recognise the name.”
