I find it quite intimidating now, with how they’ve exploded into the national (and international) consciousness, but not necessarily in a bad way as I bloody love this band.“I’d heard of them when I got the message and it even though they weren’t at the level of popularity they are at now it was still a great compliment to get from a band I admired, a proper band.

That our music had been heard by them was a buzz in itself; that they went so far as to compliment it was amazing.”He added: “In early 2021 after what I’m pretty sure was some sort of breakdown I had a hit of Bell’s Palsy and the right side of my face stopped working.
