where are you from?We go to a boarding school called hurlstone agricultural high. So we are from all around the state, such as: batemans bay, gilgandra, braidwood and around sydney.

What's the origin of the band name? the band name originates from an inside joke within band members. but it is from a youtube video.

Have you changed the band's name before? Yes, we were previously called "bleech" and for a while "wednesday thursday friday"

why did you decide to change the name? because it was kinda stupid and another band had that name.

Tell me about how you guys got together? we were all in the same dorm at school. it started with max and jordan. then jesse joined when he came back from overseas. they taught the other member of the dorm bass.

What genre of music do you consider your work to be? alternative rock/indie/funk, cover alot of genres but leaning towards those genres

congratulations on winning the Red Bull Bedroom Jam how was that experience for you?
winning RBBJ was such a privilege. we gained alot of publicity and recognition. Making the webcast, playing at the backyard jam and recording the ep have been such amazing experiences and we have had lots of fun and learnt so much.

working on your first EP how is this experience? and what can we expect?
none of us have ever be to a studio, we had no idea what it was going to be like or what the process was. we predicted we would do 5 songs and a acoustic hahahahaha. we did three songs in the five days. but it was totally worthy it as the songs sound top quality.

Who writes your songs? we all write the songs. it may start for as a jam or an idea then everyone has a say in what structure and direction it goes. It's a group process.

What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs? our inspirations, in terms of lyrics, is making sense of what's around us. we will literally sit in our band room look at stuff until we find something that fits. the lines may seem random but they have a greater meaning to us. to answer your question, our themes and topics change but we frown upon pop-punk love songs.

who are some of your musical influences?
Our biggest mutual influence would have to be Red Hot Chili Peppers for sure. we all have our individual tastes and dislikes. for example Rohan likes Chris Brown, Jason Derulo and other r'n'b artists whereas max likes Incubus, The Strokes, Blink 182.

what are future plans for the band? Once the EP is finalised and the artwork and everything like that is finished, we hope to send that to radio stations and labels. we hope to be playing more shows (ie not band comps) and support cool bands

one word to describe this experience so far? awesome

what do you like doing in your freetime?because we live together, we hang out with each other in our freetime. we have girls, sport, tv shows and games to keep us occupied. hahaha

What advice would you give to fellow bands? play. play what you enjoy. play because you love it. play like its your last chance to play. have fun, i guess.
