“It has been a man’s world," Melvin Benn told NME. "Unfortunately things do take time to change, but unless people like me are willing to make the effort to assist that change, it will take longer for it to come"
The band have spoken to NME about new single 'Happy Customers', their North American tour, playing Reading & Leeds for the seventh time and feeling like “outsiders” when they first formed
"Kenny Beats, Nigel Godrich, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, Julian Casablancas – all people I’ve looked up to – when you meet them, it’s not like they’re humble and all ‘namaste’ or any of that shit, but they work hard. They understand why they are where they are"
