What’s a moment that’s stuck with you from a recent show?
Ethan: Stoke was really cool, I think I cried at the second last song. Was very affirming.
Tiree: definitely Englefest, it’s really nice to be playing our new stuff live. We were holding off on developing ideas for a while waiting for Kush to move up to Glasgow but it’s really nice to write as a 4 piece again and I’m really excited to start releasing stuff again.
Kush: Our show with ogbert the nerd at nice n sleazys was really special. It was our last gig with them that tour and getting to play that show in glasgow was really the perfect ending. I don’t know what it was that night but we could see so many people singing along and jumping up and down and that’s the best feeling ever

What does emo mean to you?
- Before I didn’t really think of this much, or couldn’t answer properly. I really think you have to punk/diy ethos and ethics. Sure, anyone can make sad twinkly music but you really need to stand for something support and protect your scene and the people who are at most risk. So I guess being genuine, sincere and just giving a fuck about people.
