“Tell It to Someone Who Cares!” the band’s lead singer Sammy James has been in the recording studio for the last 3 months and can’t wait to delve into the ins and outs of the band and the music she loves! We sat down with her and found out even more about the band and the bright future ahead!
Q: Working up to the release of the album, how excited are you!?
A: Buzzing! It’s been a massive amount of work to get this far, and there is still a short period of that to go, but it’s starting to feel worth it, and we all can’t wait to start releasing new songs and video’s!

Q: There’s allot of media and press stirring up anticipation for the album “Dinosaurs & Pyramids”, do you feel any pressure in delivering music that suits them?
A:We will make the music we love, not what people want and expect, so to answer that question I believe the music we create will be our best music.

Q: You’ve been compared to allot of artists and bands, but what makes you guys significant?
A: I think you only need to look at us to gain an understanding of what we’re about. The dress sense the haircuts, we all have our individual style but we all love the indie rock music that we make, but that doesn’t stop us going beyond boundaries!

Q: What do you mean by going beyond boundaries?
A: Well we don’t just stick to the same style; we like to make our music unique and make it important to ourselves, so our songs show emotion and may meet hot topics which aren’t usually associated with our genre of music.

Q: You’re really positive about the bands motto, do you think that helps?
A: Without a doubt, any band or artist who isn’t confident in their own music or style is never going to make it in this kind of industry. You have to believe in your own music and you shouldn’t be changed by people’s perception. It’s all about sharing your opinions and your feelings, not somebody else’s and as a band we help each other.

Q: You speak about being in a band, how is that different from a solo artist?
A: I always knew I never had any intentions of being a solo artist; I always loved playing guitar and couldn’t wait to join in with people playing different instruments. I suppose the best times are always being together, practicing and having a laugh constantly just makes life seem all the more adventurous! Something that wouldn’t be there if I was a solo artist.

Q: You’re new single “Raaw!” has become quite a large hit within the indie and rock world, why did you decide as a band to release this ahead of anything else?
A: I think we all came to an agreement that we wanted a song to represent what the album is going to be like and I think we’ve been successful in the terms of representing the band and what we stand for. The song is to a quick tempo but also has slow paced break downs which just shows what’s in store, to be honest shows our brilliance! (Sammy laughs)

Q: Can you give us an insight on how the recordings gone, and what you’ve been up to?
A: It’s a magical time in any band! You look around you think “my god! Is this actually happening?” and then you go crazy! It’s not the same as being in the garage and making new music, but seeing everything come together is a great feeling. We have all had a great time along with the production team, and some great evenings!

Q: You seem the most outrageous character out of the band, is this true?
A: Ha-ha! Well I think the guys will agree with you but they’re no Samaritans! Jamie has been in plenty of trouble involving a fisherman’s rod and an extreme amount of calpol but that’s his story to tell!

Q: You all seem to hold good memory’s together, are you guys like family?
A: Yes! My brothers are everything to me even if were not blood related, this is actually a very weird experience for me, being interviewed without them by my side, but they really pushed me to do it!

Q: More on the music side of your life, what influences have you had?
A: Well I, Jamie and Dan have always had similar influences which I think is why we work so well together. We loved the rock 80’s and 90’s and even older decades but I think we look particularly on artists who are working around now. The Joy Formidable, The Kills and even The Ting Tings but we also have taken inspiration from Jimmy Hendrix and Kurt Cobain who helped change music.

Q: You’re music has created an ever growing fan base, but you have had your fair share of critics
A: Tell it to someone who cares! Every artist, band or orchestra has people who insist on trying to change over people’s opinions. We will have people who dislike us, but stuff them! We will only care about our fans, and we will create music we that we like.

Q: Can you give us any insight on the album? Or the name? Just where did that come from!?
A: Dinosaurs and Pyramids, well funny story! We were all going out for a celebration night after finishing our tour and we still hadn’t decided on an album name. We came up with various ideas but none of them we were all fully comfortably on. We decided to stop thinking about it that night and just have fun and that’s when we came across Jamie’s awful jumper choice! Consisting of high dinosaurs, pyramids and planets, straight away we said Dinosaurs and Pyramids, and we stuck with it!

Q: Well, you sure live a weird but wonderful life! But is there anything you can reveal about the upcoming months?
A: I’m really not allowed to say, but stuff it! Get ready for some releases in the near future, and get ready to buy our new single that we will be putting out there next week!
