What are Benji and Joel like together
in the group? They're great.
What is their bond like? They're
twins so they've got something weird going on. They've got this thing where they can read each other's thoughts and stuff.
That helps with the song writing, I think.
How much input do you have in the music and in the song writing?
They'll write a song and then show it to me and Billy. We'll tell them whether it sucks or not. Then
we'll all format it together as a band.
How would you describe yourself? I'm very easy
going, I'm just the easy going guy.
Have Benji and Joel influenced your taste in any way since you joined the
group? Yeah I used to not listen to any popular music at all and now I listen to Oasis and stuff like
that. All this stuff that was on the radio, I never gave a chance because it was on the radio. Now I listen to the radio cause
I know there are some good things out there. It's not all rubbish like I thought it was.
Are you quite happy
to take a back seat in the band? Yeah, I don't mind. We're all in it together.
Your music
is really good but in another sense you are pin-ups - what's your take on that? I don't think about
that.
How do you react if you have girls screaming at you? I just block it out of my
mind because it is really bizarre. I think it's cool - they're fans and they like our music and they usually have a crush
on Benji and not me so I don't have to deal with the absurdity of it. You just smile and wave. If I ran into one of those
girls on the street and they greet me with a scream, I can't have a conversation with them. That sucks for them as they're
going to miss out on an opportunity to talk to somebody they like a lot. You just have to be nice and then walk away as quickly
as possible.
What were you doing before this? I was a cook at several different restaurants.
I was a plumber as well. I had awful jobs.
