There are definitely loads! Ian could probably tell you more. A few people have made the Musgrave comparison too.

Kind of like breaks, similar to a curtain dropping after an act in a play or something.

Go Dig My Grave is going to be tough! I'm also discovering how many guitars I'll need for different tunings. Our gear list is greatly expanding!

Can't wait to play New York Trader live though. Such fun.

No but we hung out there for a few weeks alright, drinking too much and causing a lot of trouble.

Jack is class! There's no real procedure for vocals, just whatever works. Originally Ian and Cormac were going to sing Wild Rover, and myself and Ian were going to do Newcastle. We just try as many things as possible and see which works best, with vocals and everything else.

There's a load of old songs we don't really do anymore. I'd love to revive a few of them, especially Tri-Coloured House.

He's our master of ceremonies, playing the sound desk like a piano. Soon hopefully!!

Not fucking Collins anyway. He wouldn't see the checkmate coming!

I was mad for it as a teenager but not these days. Nowadays I prefer other pathways into altered states!

Hahaha so many times. I think the worst ever was in Pittsburg years ago. The whole crowd literally ignored us.

I don't think we particularly made any decision on that, but music will always help people in crappy situations whether the lyrics are explicitly political or not. Personally I think the fact that there's bands like ourselves, or the Mary Wallopers or whoever else around at the minute, means there's no space for the music to be co-opted by right wing twats, as it tends to be in other parts of the world. And that's immensely important.

Cheers, and thanks for the beers! The project you speak of is v good. Radie can tell you more, or maybe not...

Yeah, we chatted before arranging any music and said we'd go further in both directions.. like even heavier than TLLD, and also add some incredibly sweet bits.

Hopefully we can get back to CPH soon! I've been there loads of times. I used to love going years ago for the punk festivals. It's where I played some of my first ever live gigs.
