Reason for the title of your recent/forthcoming release?
I’m a child of the 90’s. That was the so called Generation X. Now I’m a parent so it’s like my generation is moving onto the next paradigm which is possibly the most pivotal point of your life when you close the chapter of your youth, and your parents are entering their final chapter, (if you’re lucky)! and you’re adapting to the role of educating the next generation. So we’re Generation Y. And the world is a fucked up place! That’s a good reason for an album.
See us live at?

The old days of music were better than the current, do you agree?
Not sure. I think that might play into the Trump mindset a bit. Like we need to hold onto something that’s never coming back, but actually we should just look forward. I think there’s plenty of cool stuff out there, just not on Radio 1. Also, we’ve got this lovely Blog world that’s really accessible right, so that’s really positive!
