How long did it take to write/record? Lozz Benson and I wrote this in one day. We recorded with Richie Belkner at Free Energy Device.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Snipedy Keepsake is from our forthcoming debut EP due for release in 2016.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? The feverish energy that comes from love pushed too far. We looked at capturing the joyful and twisted rush that comes from a stalker's thrill when collecting a creepy memento. 

We'll like this song if we like... The Dead Weather, Mars Volta and songs about creeps in the ye olden times.

Do you play it differently live? Super similar with a dash more venom. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? Friday 30th Oct - Lazy Bones. Supporting our friends SLUMBERHAZE.
