We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands.

I think music is so diverse today, and bands are so diverse. If you were a rock band in the Eighties, you kind of had to stick to one thing. Now, in this age of Coachella and European festivals and stuff, it's kind of anything goes, so that allowed us to try different things.

I know that starting out as a young band, it's really easy to get lost with bands that sound the same or with the plethora of music that's out there.

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.

The music we made then was so amateurish, compared to the rest of mainstream pop or rock and roll. But what differentiated us from what everybody else was doing in the business was the fact that you could tell that these people came from different reference areas.

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.

It's amazing to me to see how bands evolve and how they take all their influences and come up with their own sound.

In the range of music that we play - roughly 300 years' worth-there really are more similarities than differences.

I've been part of five different bands in my time.

We were lumped into the Lite Metal radio bands.
