1. How would you describe your music in one sentence?

Years ago we used to say: We play loud drum driven music with even louder guitars. - I guess that's not correct anymore but it's the best I can think of right now.

2. Was there something like a light bulb moment when you were young, maybe a concert, a certain song or a record that made you dream about a career as a musician?

I think there were a few but non made of them made us dream of a career. They made us dream of good songs we might write on our own.

3. Are there any artists that might have influenced you some time?

There were a few. And there still are. I think there are always other artists that have inspiration on your own creative output. Talk Talk and Sunny Day Real Estate were two of them for us.

4. How do you develop your songs? What part comes first, music or lyrics?

Music is always first.

5. What song is most important to you? Why and how did it develop?

We don't have something like that.

6. In what aspects did your music change compared to when you started to make music?

The songs are shorter now and they are less agressive. Less math in it, more piano.

7. What has been the best experience so far, as an artist?

Oh there are a few. We just finished a bunch of shows with Snow Patrol. Those were the biggest shows so far. This is one of the best experiences but there are many more.

8. What can you tell us about your current projects?

Our current project is to tour our new record. It's called "yonder" and came out a month ago.

9. And what are you aspiring to in the future, what do you want to achieve?

.....don't know. Hopefully another record and hopefully touring Japan.

10. With whom would you like to go on tour?

I think you'd get four different answers from each of us. For me it would probably be the band "Three Mile Pilot".

11. What record would we find in your CD-player right now?

Windmill "Epcot Starfields"

12. What do you think, as artists, about platforms like MySpace?

They are a good tool for smaller bands.

13. myFanbase is a website that is devoted to American television shows. Do you have a favorite show?

I don't, sorry.
