Quotes

“The guitarist is now waiting tables because his point of view is I don’t want to do the social media thing, I just want to be an artist.” - Simon Pellett

“ I would never give advice to another band, I always tell people to take a second, hang with a lawyer and look at whats in front of you, but I don’t give advice to take it or not because you need context to see if it’s right for you.” - Host Dave Swillum

“ If I never make money from music or I make just enough for putting it up and releasing it I’m kind of ok with that because I’m releasing something past me that will live on forever.” - Simon Pellett
