Despite the occasional high decibel level, 'The Group' is not a shout fest. I don't simply want panelists with opposing opinions trying to out-shout one another.

I don't really like groups that make the same statement over and over again. It's good, but kind of predictable.

It's really hard to name a band.

Most groups today aren't groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.

You have to have a strong title. It's got to say something.

At the time, we thought it was a nice way to say something unique about the group to make us different from all the other bands kicking around in London.

Naming is a privilege of reason and the province of bullies. We name to tame and to maim; to honor the great, the dead, and ourselves.

So if people will pay attention to what I say because of our success as a group, I am going to use that.

We don't to be some kind of rock supergroup for the sake of being a supergroup. You want to change things and say something fresh and new so you appeal to people as a new group.
