I'd see them live every time I came to town actually, but they don't come up here that often. Thanks for the compliments – always appreciated, especially by a novice interviewer.

Glad you liked it Col - they were a really nice group of guys actually. Quite passionate, but really pleasant to talk to. The kind of lads you get the impression would be really good to go for a pint with. I could always put in a request with their online publicity person for the next time they play in Scotland!

But I doubt I could ever 'explain' why I like them as in many respects the songs do all sound the same. It is, as David says, a nuance thing. I honestly do think your best bet is to see them live - the energy and ferocity of the performance is probably your best chance of really getting into their stuff, especially with the backdrops that help tell the story.
