I didn’t ever wanna be the one to control it
2011 was full of travel, playing, meeting and seeing. All of that between studying meant nowhere near as much time as we would have liked to work on developing our writing skills and building on our song collection. With that in mind, this year we have made sure to put aside time to write and explore. We’re at a really exciting time with our second EP ‘Bad Reality’ being released on the 18th of May, sitting ready and raring to go and we’re already working on the album. Next week we hit the studio for our first block of recording with Lindsay Gravina at Birdland. We recorded the ‘Bad Reality’ EP with Lindsay and can’t wait to work with him again. We seem to make a great team, with the end result always being extremely pleasing! Instead of being locked up in the studio for a couple of months, we decided to take the pressure off ourselves and record two songs at a time. Hannah and I are also experimenting with writing together acoustically as opposed to “all in jams” which is our usual way of coming up with new music. This process has been really fun for us, and it’s so interesting to see the different outcomes when you write in different ways. I love coming back to the writing pad after listening to new bands, reading new books or seeing new places. There is nothing like the feeling of being on a roll with what you’re working on. It all comes together and you know you all feel the same way about the music flowing out, without even having to say it.
