Bjork, Radiohead, Placebo, Muse etc.
How would you describe your music?
Female fronted rock band, which has lively gigs and some atmospheric bits too! Hopefully people find some feeling in it.
How do you feel about the release of your new single?
It's the first of some new bits we are releasing so we are excited to be getting some new music out there. We have a new EP coming soon!
What was the inspiration behind your new single?
The unrelenting drive someone can have to reach their goals, the determination to overcome things along the journey.
What do you usually start with when preparing for a set?
Vodka, lime and soda.
When can we expect your first album release?
Very good question! We have these singles to release and then the next EP, and then we are going to talk about it after that, fingers crossed.
Where are you playing this year?
We have a bunch of gigs around the southwest, including the Looe Music Festival on the beach in Cornwall! Can't wait for that one.
If you could go back in time and eradicate one song from the history of music what would it be?
'Old Pop In An Oak' by Rednex.

'Cotton Eye Joe' by Rednex.
If you could play a gig anywhere in the world, in any spot at all, where would you like to play?
Leopallooza, main stage, Saturday night headliner! BOOM! How fricking amazing would that be?!
If you were stranded on a desert island, what one possession would you have with you?
A barrel of Captain Morgan's so we could get pissed, howl at the moon, before we figure out how the fuck we are going to survive with nothing but an empty rum barrel!
If you could fill a swimming pool with anything what would it be?
See the Captain above.
What message do you want to pass onto the new generation with your music?
Never, ever give up.
