MM: Where do you draw your inspirations and ideas from
UC:It depends on what kind of song we are working on! Chloe tends to draw inspiration from life experiences and movies! Whereas davie, tends to draw inspiration from his surroundings and what’s going on in the world!

AC/DC
IN THIS MOMENT
THE SEX PISTOLS
MM: What's the most memorable concert you've been to (other than your own) and why

MM - Who do you think influenced the world of Metal / Rock more than any other person
UC:I would probably say Ozzy Osbourne. He has a very distinctive voice, and hes done so many different “types" of metal. Hes also got great personality and I think people tend to listen to a laid back person like him.

UC:The most important thing to us right now is getting through lockdown and getting back to working on a second album.
