Can you describe to readers who may be unfamiliar with your sound just exactly what you sound like ? It's loud and noisy and we have no singer.we try and fit alot into every tune and its pretty fast paced.I guess it's music we wrote to be heard and seen live first and foremost, that's where we feel most at home cause we still feel like we're in the punk bands we've been in all our lives but I guess the music has progressed into something different now.

As a instrumental band, how do you go about writing a song ? I'll usually come into the guys with a riff, an arrangement or an idea and it kinda takes off from there,sometimes they grow legs real quick and it's a really fast process or sometimes we'll slog over parts and changes for weeks.everyone has their own character they lay into the mix so its always interesting to see where the boys take the track. it's a pretty ruthless process,we recently binned all 25tracks we'd written for our next release 6weeks before recording and wrote 10 new ones instead cause we'd all got a bit bored of them,but we've always been a bit Stalinistic like that,it's a really satisfying way to do things when it works.
