I like the themes and concepts of all of her writing really,
they are always adult fairy tales, there’s always a strong
female within, its quite fantastical and all the lessons learnt
within you can translate into real life. It’s just something I
like.
You touch upon having a strong woman influence, have
you found there have been any particular hurdles or
challenges being the front woman of a band?
Yeah, of course, when you’re the odd one out. I work with a
good team so it hasn’t been too bad, sometimes its weird
being the only girl.
R: I guess it can be quite nice as well?
Yeah, you can feel special sometimes!
R: To begin with you were more indie folk band but you
seem to have transcended into raucous rock, is there a
reason for the change?
No not really, we started off with the equipment that we
already had, sometimes it was easier when we were playing
shows in the city to just bring acoustic guitars rather
than bringing a drum kit and stuff. So when we felt more
confident we moved to electric and evolved from there.
R: Do you think that genres are becoming less important?
I think with the nature of streaming that genres aren’t
really important anymore, well I mean, to some people
they are, but we are kind of spoilt for choice, we now listen
to playlists rather than albums. I mean me personally; I’ve
never cared about genres and stuff so I just let myself be
pulled in a certain direction.
R: As a songwriter who do you hold in high regard and
what makes them inspiring to you?
I love lots of people, I love Lana Del Rey, Nick Cave, The
Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, The King of Leon, Outkast, just loads of
people I don’t have one particular idol or anything like that.
