I don't know whether we'll have another Michael Jackson or Elvis, because the world's too quick to level the playing field in that regard. For example, if Michael Jackson did the moonwalk for the first time now, and it debuted on Twitter, the third comment would probably be: He's just walking backwards.

As I tell my intro creative writing students, after reading someone you love, wait at least an hour before starting to write.

Its quite there sonically a strong representation of what the songs on our records are like. It's very loud and our set is based around containing as much energy and dynamics as possible.
