One on One with // Since Monroe

What’s next for you?

Well right now we’re trying to do our best to get people to our live shows and we’re writing new material which we hope to be recording by the end of the summer.

What would you like to do before the end of 2012?

Weould love to have done enough work to have ourselves established (or least be on the way) and to have an album ready to release.

What’s the weirdest thing that’s happened to you on tour?

Andy being told he has a “sensitive face” by a middle aged man while on way into a venue. Think that’ll take some beating.

Who were your main musical influences growing up?

Musically, people like Elliot Smith for his lyrical genius, Dave Grohl for his hard beats and Prince for being a good all rounder.

Which song do you wish you had written?

It’s got to be Buddy Holly by Weezer. It’s a perfect song because it’s got everything; it’s got a great melody, a great sound and it is a really fun song.

Have you got any advice for new artists starting off at the moment?

New bands need a good recording to get noticed. It makes such a difference and gives off a professional image.

What are you listening to at the moment?

I am currently listening to Man vs. Monster by Fighting With Wire. If you haven’t heard it and like alternative rock with great melodies and riffs them it’s definitely worth a good listen.

Describe yourself in three words?

Chihuahuas on smack.
