Interview : Elliot Minor


Which three words would you use to describe your music?
Rock, Pop and Classical Do you find it hard being constantly compared to other bands? We don't really care, people can compare us to anyone they want. It is a compliment really. Make your own mind up really! Usually people don't compare our music; it is normally about our image. If you think about the bands you like it is normally because your friend likes them, or you like the image they portray, but I think if people actually listen to our music they would be surprised.
I read that you were classically trained and went to choir school, what made you decide to make the transition to pop-rock?
We went to music school and were all music students, we were all singing in choirs and playing in orchestra's every day and it just got a bit dull really! Classical is the kinda music we were bought up on and in to originally.
In a previous interview you described your school as sheltered, was it intimidating going from that to a career in the limelight?
It was quite weird yeah. We used to play in shows just to our friends and stuff, but once you play a gig to other people it is totally different. When we were in choirs we had to perform to a large group of people but it was different.
How much has your life changed since the band got big?
Big? Ha ha, we are not really big, we are trying, we only really get recognised at our own shows! Well it has changed in the sense that we don't go to Uni and stuff anymore. I mean talking to our friends now and they have all graduated, and got jobs, now they only get like four days off and Christmas, made us realise how different our lifestyles are. I mean if it ended it would be hard to get used to a normal lifestyle again.
Which band or artist would you most like to perform with?
Kid Rock, Green Day or Hanna Montana.
What are your plans for the future?
Probably gunna be a Plumber or something, ha ha, yeah like when all this dies down.
Where would you most like to play what would be your most desired outcome from the band?
Start touring America really. Yeah to make it big in America.
