RD: How has the music changed since the 1st album?
Padge: Our new material is more up-beat, sort of 5th gear all the way!! but the
massive choruses are still there with even more of a stadium rock show vibe!
RD: Whats your approach to writing?
Padge: A song usually comes from a guitar riff or series of riffs either written
on the road or from just doodling then constucted in a rehearsal room as a
band until we have a song . Once we are happy with the music Matt will
write lyrics and melody!
RD: What can we look forward to at a BFMV show?
