"We went through New Scotland Yard’s most wanted list and picked the most dangerous musicians known to the authorities."

"It’s like small music spirits; kind of like a really small child playing on stage and I just follow the child, because the child, he knows where he wants to go and what he wants to do… It’s very strange."

"A lot of people have in their heads, especially from the hardcore scene, that, ‘Oh, the metal scene’s fucked; it’s just a bunch of long-haired losers’."

"I’m writing songs that I want to be a bit more third person in, in order to connect with the audience in a different way."

"I think we’ve learned to cut the fat when it comes to songs, learned to emphasise hooks – not that we’re trying to learn pop songs – and the lyrics are a lot more thought out."

"And that’s why we kind of avoid terms like traditional... with complete respect for those sorts of artists, blues bands can often be quite conservative. Very calm and orderly. We’re a much freer band."
