3. You have been compared with Puddle
of Mudd, Staind and other Nu Metal giants, but somehow you
have the edge, and appear less worried about adhering to
the commercial sound, what has been the reaction of fans
and the music industry to this approach? (I personally enjoy
the unique approach as a fan and a reviewer.)
We don't particularly think we sound much
like Puddle of Mud or Staind!! We are not worried about being
put into a category - what we are concerned about is making
our music real and having it represent what we do best.
4. What is on your stereo at the moment?
And what are your influences?
Funnily enough the new Muse album - Not
metal!
5. You are playing the renowned Download
Festival Donington, alongside the likes of Slipknot Metallica,
Korn and Slayer. How do you prepare for a festival where
the crowd attend to see a wide range of bands, and does this
differ to how you prepare for a gig where the crowd come
to hear you play? Does the target crowd affect the set you
play?
Our aim is to perform like never before
- we will play the best show we can in the time allowed.
Depending on the time we may edit some tracks or modify the
set slightly. One thing is for sure - it's going to fucking
rock from the rafters!
6.You have recently played a series of
shows across the UK, what were your experiences of playing
on British Shores?
The last tour was special because for the
first time we really noticed an acceptance of what we do
and it was great to see fans coming to gigs from Aberdeen
to Poole and everywhere inbetween!!
7. The album boasts many different styles, from the
Latin like La Ultima Hora (The Final Hour) to the melodic "The River" and
often an hint of anger. How would you describe your overall
style?
A blend of Latin Culture with Nu Metal
riffs, strong and soaring melodies with a dash of angst!
8. You have had great success in Europe,
especially in Spain, Portugal, France and Germany where your
album (Cultura, out on Albert Music) has sold thousands of
copies. Where is your favourite place to tour and promote,
and where do you have the most success with live followings?
Cultura has never been released in Europe.
Our original album was released in limited format last year,
and we did sell albums in all of the territories mentioned
above. We have a solid base there and when the UK breaks,
these territories will fall quickly!
9. Do you prefer being in the recording
studio or playing live and why?
Live always! Nothing beats the adrenalin
of a show and the reaction of the audience - the ultimate
for a rock band!
10. What are your plans for the rest of the year regards touring and recording?
Our plans are to smash the UK over and
over until we are the biggest band in these shores - then
Europe will fall
