Linear Notes with Calories
Words: Craig Sharp

1. What’s the most over-the-top thing anyone’s said about your music?
Tom: Probably that it sounds "alright" or "a bit like Distophia".

2. Favourite films?
Tom: American Psycho - Christian Bale! And... What was that film we were talking about that was just re-made? Err... The Strangers.
Pete: The original's amazing, man.

3. Top 5 albums?
Pete: Hot Snakes - 'Audit In Progress'. Fucking amazing. What's your favourite album?
Tom: Ermm... Influential album would be Daughters - 'Hell Songs'. A bit of brutal metal.

4. Most scary thing to happen at a gig?
Pete: Electrocutions?
Tom: Oh yeah, loads of electrocutions. Not to me but, to them. But it's scary watching them...
Pete: ...There was a fight once, wasn't there?
Tom: I don't really remember. I remember there was a fight... There was that time when we took the drum kit into the crowd and people tried to steal the drum kit off us to play it. Then he [points at Pete] went after them!
Pete: Then I threw a bass drum at the back of the stage and then it hit the monitor, it bounced off the monitor, and then the soundguy - it was at a university - grabbed me and started threatening me and stuff.
Tom: And had sex with him.
Pete: And had sex with me. But he took me to a Small Claims Court over the monitor so I had to go to his house, in Oxford, and buy the monitor... Then it was me and John in a shed in his garden...
Tom: And then they had sex with him.
Pete: Laughs. Then I was like, 'I don't think it's worth that much', then he was like, going for my throat and stuff. Really like...
Tom: I was sitting in the car, I didn't know it happened. Oxford was nice for me!

5. If you weren’t in a band, what would you be doing?
Tom: Child care.
Pete: Okay, if I wasn't in a band and hadn't spent so much time being in a band, I'd definitely be a gardener. A professional gardener.
Tom: That child care comment wasn't like a paedophile thing, I was actually serious.
Pete: I work with children, I'd like to work with children properly.
Tom: I'd like to work with children from about five upwards, I'm not very good with people but I'm the godfather to two kids... Pete: And you're an uncle. You've got two... Kids.
Tom: I just prefer to say I've got two nephews which means I am an uncle...!

6. If you had to come up with your own question, what would it be? (This is basically a chance for you to say whatever you want as an answer)?
Tom: I'll probably say this one. This question. I've always wanted to have the freedom to have this question, and so now it's wasted. Urm, I really don't have one... Just put that. That'll be good.


Cheers to Tom & Pete!
