I saw a band called The Electric Guitars, from Bristol. I described them to Roland, and he just started playing a riff on guitar and said, 'Do they sound like this?' And they did.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see bands that have been around for a long time who go through the motions. They're tired and they shouldn't really be doing it any more. We are doing it because we like it.

At the height of our fame, we didn't see anything. We didn't leave the hotel because we were doing interviews all day. We may have traveled the world, but we saw nothing.
- Bass
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's something rhythmic about running, so it's not surprising that I love it. I'm a bass player, after all.

- |

We've influenced other artists, and when younger generations become fans of those artists and hear about us, they discover our music too.

What happens with writing a song and demoing it, for me the demo always becomes the master.
- Every Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
MySpace is just spam central. I mean, every day I just get mail inviting me to gigs that are nowhere near Los Angeles!
- Buy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My kids don't really buy albums. They buy singles.
- Think
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Normally doing an album you go from track to track and go, 'Let's not work on this one today, let's go work on the other one,' and I think you tend to get more self-indulgent that way.
- Find
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find that albums generally tell a story. Because it's music, it doesn't have to be in chronological order.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think what we find fascinating and interesting is when people take our music and turn it into emotionally something else. And weirdly, Lorde's version of 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World,' the production really goes with the lyric more than our version does, because our version, albeit the lyric is dark, the music is quite uplifting.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think we ever really think about it when we're doing it, because if you sort of go in with a plan of attack, it tends to take away the natural rhythm of songwriting.
- Think
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think when you finish an album, you tend to have your favorites, where a lot of the time are not the singles.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father always worked away, and died when I was 17, but I hated him by that point. It hit me later in life, but back then I was teenage and angry.
- Mad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We released 'Mad World' as a single because we felt the music press would like it.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mad World' was easy for me to sing because I could relate to Roland's lyrics. We were both the middle of three sons and had been brought up by single mothers with absent fathers.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mad World's distinctive percussion intro was played on a Roland CR-78 drum machine. We first recorded it at twice the speed, but it sounded great slowed down.
- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
To be honest, I've been back to Atlanta a couple of times, I can't remember what for. One for a big conference, a radio conference. I feel like it's a vibrant place. It has a vibrant music scene.
- Bad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Naturally, in a band or duo, it's really about compromise which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
