Music Trespass: How are you today?

Jamie: Not too bad thank you.

Tom: Feeling very well considering it's the last night of the tour than you.

Music Trespass: It's the last night of the tour how has the tour gone?

Jamie: It's gone very well actually. We had some difficulty with our vocalist Guy with his voice he's got a bit of a sore throat and he's his voice a couple of nights but he has pulled through. We have had great reception from the crowds most nights. Fans have paid tribute to us yeah, it's been a great ride.

Tom: I can only say it's been an privilege and an honor to open for Grand Magus every night especially as we get to see them every night for free!

Music Trespass: Can you tell us anything of your upcoming album?

Jamie: Well, we're currently in the final stages on recording at the moment. we are in the mixing stage. Theres no release date as of yet. As soon as it's finished we are going to shop around with labels etc. As soon as that's all done hopefully late this year, so we'll see what happens.

Tom: We've been playing some songs off of it on this tour. People haven't heard these songs and they seem to be going down really well. We just cant wait to drop these new tunes, But that will come when we finally get it out.

Music Trespass: Can you tell us a bit about the history of the band and your influences?

Jamie: Well it started nearly nine years ago. In nicks garage, he is who Tom is filling in for and possibly will come back. Started off in a garage doing odds and sods, just being teenagers Drinking and writing riffs and being a bit of garage band then progressed to doing bigger gigs. Setting ourselves up for the surfaced unsigned festival we won that, Srdjan and Guy joined. The ball kept rolling, Doing more high profile gigs, Some festival slots. We did a tour with White Wizard and with Warbringer now this tour with Grand Magus. It's slowly on the up and now Tom's on board I can't say enough for the guy. He's mental on he guitar. Hopefully we will see bigger and better things.

Tom: On a personal notes I've only been in the band five months but I've been a fan since seeing them a the High Voltage Festival a few years ago, I knew one of the guitarists from doing some gigs together on the same bill. I'm happy to be playing with these guys, Im having a good time and it's sounding really good.

Music Trespass: What else have you got in the pipeline for 2013?

Jamie: We've got a few gigs lined up hopefully to boost the new album if when it's finished being mastered. We've got Les fest up in Scotland. Metal gods in Mansfield. A gig supporting Saxon on the 7th May.

Music Trespass: What have you been listening too recently?

Tom: oh don't!!!!

Jamie: Yeah we've been stuck on the tour bus listening to Country! Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Country but listening to the likes of Taylor Swift all day!

Music Trespass: Well she's not exactly real Country either is she?

Tom: Well the vans a democracy so whoever is driving gets to choose whats played. So when I drove it was Heavy Prog and Classic Metal. But theres a wide range of what people listen to. Some of the guys really like 3 inches of Blood.

Jamie: Yeah we had a nice Journey, Journey too!
