We wanted to make the release shows
really special and more of an exclusive
event instead of a full blown U.K. tour.
We’ve received messages from people in
Holland, France and even Bulgaria who
are flying over to attend these shows. It’s
gonna be sick!
What is your writing process like?
Usually Chris will stay up till 5 am
writing riffs, he will then send it over and
I’ll get some lyrics down. The three of us
then get together and put it all together!
What are your personal favourite
tracks off the new record?
It’s really hard to choose! It’s like asking
a parent which child is their favourite...
I do really like I Remember and Reason
To Stay. Bless is probably one of my
favourites as well!
What do you want to achieve with this
band?
Musically, we want to continue to put
out songs that people can relate to and
connect with, I think that is the most
important thing. I’ve mentioned in
interviews before that I want BY to
play Wembley one day. We’re three very
ambitious lads and we want to play to
the biggest crowds all over the world.
People seem to be really connecting
with your lyrics but who do you think
needs the band more you or the fans?
Good question! It’s hard to answer from
the fans point of view, but I’ve had some
very heart felt and intense conversations
with fans after shows and it’s always
incredible to find out what your music
has done for someone. In all honesty, I
think we need the band more. Personally,
I wasn’t very good academically and I
always felt like I didn’t have an outlet for
what was going on in my head... until I
found this band, this is all we have!
