How did you guys meet then?

All the members have known one another for a long time though different local bands and shows, that�s the short story.

The long one is....Daff and Cooko we're in a band together called Mirrored Emotion, when that band came to a close they got together with Si, who had been in Home Made Memory.

After a while the decided they needed a bassist and singer, Ceres had been in Home Made Memory with Si and wasn�t working on any new projects so they asked him to join. Rick was in a band called SOLD but as things were tailing off with that band so they asked him to join as a singer.

So whilst you�re still making it as rock stars what do you all do for a day job?

Ceres is a trainee engineer

Rick tries to sell kitchens over the phone, and he occasionally goes to university studying history

Daff Mans the tills at Lidl

Cooko is the king of the decorating department at B&Q

Si is a postman

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Barbeques and beer; hopefully at the same time.

Ideally, where would you like to be in 10 years?

Without sounding too clich�, we would like to be making a modestly successful living off music.

Who do you look up to in the music industry?

Rick - Lost Prophets

Cooko - Punchline

Ceres - Rise Against

Si- Protest The Hero

Daff - Bowling For Soup

In your opinion, who is the best artist around at the moment?

Van Gogh, maybe Picasso, its far to close to call!

If you could collaborate with/support on tour anyone, alive or dead, who would it be and why?

36 Crazyfists, we figure they would be fun to hang with!

So competition to �make it big� is rife at the moment; What makes you different from all the other bands trying to make it at the moment?

We're not an Indie Band!

Where can people watch you?

At the Lancashire Evening Post Battle of the bands final on the 5th of September at the Venue Preston, for other dates check out our MySpace - we hope to see you all there!
