Speaking to Bang Showbiz, singer Ricky Wilson said that although he admitted there always will be a guitar band, he was not sure he'll enjoy too much success.

He said: "Necessity is the mother of invention and there will always be music. Whether it will be a viable career for five guys with guitars I'm not sure at the moment but you know, they'll be there in a garage somewhere."

Bassist Simon Rix said, I believe that the demise of record companies for the new band has been very harmful - as they needed support early on in their careers.

He said:

"What you need when you're a band, what it took for us was for a record company to give us a little money to get us on tour in a van, to get people to see us, to like our band, to get us on the radio and the telly. That's what record companies do, and how bands get somewhere, but now they don't do that because they never make it back".
