ATP: What's the story behind the band?
SIO: The band started 2 years ago back in December. Our guitarists Ale and Ricky decided to jam one night and got Robbie and Migs involved! We were messing around with some ideas and we got offered to play a show on the 22nd of December 2009. We didn't have any songs together, so we played a load of pop punk covers all night. Back then our name was "Go Long Dad". Shortly after we started writing together and started making a fan base in our local scene. Things started to pick up with the band. As we got tighter, we got more serious about it.  

ATP: Single highlight as a band so far?
SIO: Our single highlight was when we released our EP called 'Turn Off The Lights' in March. We played a show at the Bristol 02 Academy and the show was sold out! It was such a crazy night and everyone had so much fun. Being the guys that we are, we left everything to last minute. Our t-shirts, stickers, posters and our EP turned up on the day. It was an insane moment for us! 

ATP: What are your plans for the 12 months?
SIO: We have just finished our new record called 'Turn Off The Lights' and we are planning out some tours for the summer. We are going to be on the road as much as possible, and pushing our music to new listeners throughout the year. We will be writing loads and getting things together for the new CD, which will be recorded in around November. We will also be partying a lot more.
