03Interview

What do you do?
Adam: Singer/Guitarist
Bryn: Drummer
Andrew: Bassist

Describe your style in three words?
Alternative Indie Rock

Which subcultures have had an enduring effect on you?
Bryn: Grunge and Classic Rock.
Andy: I was rather into BMXs as a teenager, probably the Skater scene.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Bryn: It would be pretty cool to hang out with Keith Moon from The Who. 'Pinball Wizard' is a great song.
Andy: I'd love to spend an hour with David Firth. I've watched his cartoons since I was probably way too young, he seems like an interesting chap.

Another you? Any other career that would have appealed?
Bryn: I always wanted to be a chef when I was younger, but I can't cook for diddly.
Andy: I like the idea of being a postman. Seems like an enjoyable job until I realise I'm very lazy.

Best Gig you have ever been to?
Bryn: It's between Jack White and Tame Impala.
Andy: Death Cab For Cutie, Manchester 2015.

Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
The Brudenell in Leeds or the Deaf Institute in Manchester. Every time we've played these venues we've had a great time and the sound is always excellent too.


Soon to support Ghostpoet on tour, Leeds trio Caro will release their new single 'Lick Your Lips', with a headline show at The Lexington scheduled for 7th March.

The band were one of the many boundary-pushing new outfits longlisted for our British New Wave 2018 feature, drawing together some of the most promising artists on the current scene.

Andy: "I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory, on Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea" - Monty Python - 'The Lumberjack Song'.
