"I don’t think I was ready for Australia last time...I think we’re still learning how to do Australia as a band. Everything was different last time. The food, the people."

"I’m alive and isn’t it crazy and so messy how everything’s changing all the time but... oh my God isn’t it beautiful – isn’t infinity beautiful? Isn’t it all just so scarily fucking beautiful?"

"We are this odd band that kind of suck at being a band... We’re good friends and we play good shows but at the same time I don’t think we’ve ever been good at being that kind of band that puts everything into the one record, and comes out with this complete vision."

"I remember one night backstage though, Sam started having a rap battle with Josh Pyke. Josh was saying all this stuff about Sam’s mum and Sam came back and just destroyed him. It was the whitest rap battle of all time."

"We’re not the kind of band that really fits on a major label... We’re just these crazy dudes who have a lot of fun. We don’t have the perfect haircuts that the majors seem to go with."

Museum is uniformly brilliant. It also probably marks the first album to feature the phrase “piece of piss”. Top marks.

"It was scary – it was very scary,” Margin explains. “Suddenly we had all these eyes on us and all these record labels after us. We knew we needed them because we were over there living off our parents’ money that we’d borrowed."

It’s no coincidence that the album is titled for this particular phrase as you get the feeling it was a tough few years for Sugar Army. With a record of this quality though, things should start to get significantly lighter.

“They tried to feed you organic food and grains and frickin’ beans. You’re not allowed to talk, there’s no TV and they make you get up at 5am to do Thai Chi and feed you lentils. I left after a day and went and ate McDonalds. I’m as relaxed as I need to be right now, just lying in bed.”

"To be able to have different instrumentation like horns around it, and to not have every song blasting away really adds to the songwriting. No one really wants to listen to a record where each song sounds the same."

"It’s a commercial-sounding record. There are some pop-sounding songs on it and I guess it’s not un-commercial sounding music."

"We almost feel like the last gang in town in that sense. There aren’t too many bands around at the moment that carry themselves like we do."
