Let's get one thing straight: there's no such thing as the Bristol sound.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The British may not know much about music, but they certainly loves the noise it makes.
I always got a kick out of it when they called it the California Sound because it really came out of Liverpool and Greenwich Village.
It is somewhat remarkable that Cornwall has produced no musical genius of any note, and yet the Cornishman is akin to the Welshman and the Irishman.
Sound comes out of a life experience.
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
I would say our sound is soul pop.
If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent. You'll hear every accent under the sun apart from the British accent.
From a strictly articulatory point of view there is no succession of sounds.
One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence.
Whenever we race in London, the noise of the fans gives me goosebumps.
