Lo Fidelity Allstars

The debut album has been selling well in it's opening week, with predictions that the album will end up top twenty, though a modest Wrekked Train explains that it wasn't the aspiration of the band to do so. "We didn't go into the studio with any intention of making a chart bound single or album. We just went in and did what we wanted to do. In a way it's been great because people have gone out and bought some of it. We're not being dictated to by the record company with regards to what we are supposed to do because there is obviously a market for it."
Then the band must be going by it's own plan? Or maybe not as the Priest suggests.
"There's never been a career plan ever. All we know is one day to the next is that we're doing B-sides in a couple of weeks and we know what the B-sides are going to be and we know what gigs we are going to be playing and we don't know how that's going to go. We don't think 'well if we release this single now it'll be the optimum time to sell more units'. There's none of that sought of thing, not with the band anyway. We do what we've always done, everything that has happened has happened naturally. The same goes for the remixes there has never been any plan to make a load of remixes in order to make our name bigger. We just take what comes along."
Now you couldn't mention the Lo Fis and remixing without the remix of "Diamonds Are Forever" On the "Listen Without Smother" EP.
"That's the best thing we've ever done," says a very proud Wrekked Train with a huge smile across his face. "We had to record it and mix it in less than a day."
"It was a mad day," announces the Priest. "We'd never ever been in a studio before in our lives. By then we had only done some rough ideas on a four track. It just worked out, it was a really wicked mix that came out on a limited CD thing, so it never got released properly."
Is there any particular TV theme tune or Film song that you would love to get your hands on for a remix?
"Only Fools and Horses," exclaims the Priest. "It's got a nice drum beat at the start. We sample a lot of film tracks, but nothing springs to mind now." >>
