We're an indie pop/rock group that tries to craft easily accessable songs that you find yourself singing along to without realising.
Why this name?
Its a long, and incredibly stupid reason that i'd rather not go into. Suffice to say, its got nothing to do with the bible.
Do you play live?
Yeah, we've gigged heavilt over the past year. Mainly in the Liverpool area. We love playing to a receptive crowd, and lately the crowds are getting bigger and bigger. Highlights over the last year have been Tha Cavern Club and The Citadel, St Helens. When there's a bug crowd there to see you and they're singing back your songs to you, there's no better feeling.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Makes it more accessible, put i think it ultimately takes money out of the bands pockets. Its hard enough selling records to make a living without downloads stealing your wages from you.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah, why not, if the deal was right for us. There's always the danger you become just another name on the roster though and then your tied to a deal whilst the records company ignores you. There's a lot to be said for signing to a smaller label.

Your influences?
Between the band it differs, i'm into SFA, The Jam, The Who and Oasis. Rob's into Counting Crows and Embrace, whereas Dave and Gaz are inot more alternative stuff like Aphex Twin.
Favorite spot?
For me its gotta The Citadel in St Helens. Its where we started as a band and where we've had some of our best gigs.
