William turns to Preston. "You better have some children
soon, if you want grandchildren when you're fifty."
"Yeah I should," he replies.
It all goes surprisingly quiet but it's only a matter of seconds
before the
silence is broken by laughter. Both band members appear to
have other thoughts on their mind other than children. They
both turn to the interviewer.
The songs on the album, have you had them long? Have you travelled
with them long?
"Some we have, some we haven't. Nothing is over two years
old," states Preston.
"Some of the songs were written in the studio,"
adds William.
Was that purposely because you though right 'We have got an
album to
record let's write some new songs'?
"We had probably ten songs that we went in with that
we thought would be on the album. Then we sort of scrapped
two or three because we were not happy with them. We wanted
to make every song really outstanding. Producing with Steven
Street made the making of the album so much easier. With a
lot of the guitar solos on the album,
I would have just done them whilst playing to the drum track
but Steve would say the solos sounded great. He would just
keep them like that. Which was really cool and interesting
but a couple of times I was like 'No way it cannot be kept
because it was out of tune.'"
"If a song is out of tune," adds Preston "And
you don't notice it, it does add
to the song a little bit." >>
