Name, where are you from?
EXHALER (Fred, Bran & Liv), from Ashby-De-La- Zouch (Midlands of nowhere).
Describe your style in three words?
Cheap / Supply Teacher.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
The Cribs at Coventry Kasbah in 2013.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Pixies, specifically in 1988. Spirit of the Beehive, even though they’re not old.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
2000’s indie d*ckheads – because we were/are them.
Mods – because we tried to be them (also good shoes).
Neo-Psychedelia – Amazing music, doin’ bits (also good scarves).
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Diogenes, the Dog of Athens. He’d probably tell us to f*ck off.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
The Night Owl in Birmingham. Always beaut people and good music.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
BC Camplight. He’s finally getting some traction but yeah his songwriting is insane. Weird guy.
