Q1 How did you start out making music?
We both spent time in bands that we weren't feeling at that time. We got together and it just clicked musically. We spent a month locked away in an east London studio, played a few warehouse parties and got some people talking - and that's how we got the deal, the good old fashioned way.

Q2 What inspired your latest album?
It's inspired by our lives, and us wanting to tackle something much more personal than we have done before. This record is much more song based, and the focus is more on us as people and our lives. It's a much more personal record, with lots of depth and variation. There's still aggressive and driving moments, but we have certainly moved forward - and that's something uncontrollable - something we are compelled to so as writers. For us we just make music that gets us excited; music that sounds fresh to us, and it's the quality of the songs that has to carry that. I don't see us as an 'electro band'. We are a band that can choose whatever sounds we like to convey the meaning of the song... it's not about fitting into any genre or movement.

Q3 What process do you go through in creating a track?
There isn't one set process that we go through, and I really think that helps create variety and keep the sound dynamic. Sometimes David will start a track and work alone, other times I will, and sometimes we will bring separate bits together.

Q4 Which artists influence your work?
I'm not sure if any of these have influenced me but I do love The Smiths, Queens Of The Stoneage, Primal Scream, New Order, Nirvana and The Libertines. We try not to allow overt influences to get in to our music too much, to keep it as honest as possible - music we can get genuinely excited about.

Q5 What would you say to someone experiencing your music for the first time?
Don't have any preconceptions, because 'Animal' will shatter them. We are really happy with the variety and how different every track is; it's definitely not what people will expect.

Q6 What are your ambitions for your latest album, and for the future?
We are very much looking forward to the next few mental months touring the UK, Europe, Japan and Australia, meeting loads of top people and having the amazing opportunity to play our music out live.
