1. What band has inspired you the most?
- I can say Arctic Monkeys but i'm pretty sure The Drums has inspired me in a lot of ways possible too. It's not just their music that inspires me a lot but it's also how they manage all the fame that they're getting and not letting it in into their heads. They're really down to earth and they seem to have this really great personality.

2:What/who got you into the music you listen to now?
- Movie soundtracks mostly and of course, my brother. And kak Cass also! It all started when I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind like a year ago, and as soon as it finished i rushed off into my laptop and googled the soundtrack. I did the same when i watched 500 days of Summer later that year.

3:Is music a big part of your life?
- You have no idea how big it is. Music is a really really big part of my life; i live in a family where you listen to music like 24/7. No, literally. Mum is an enormous fan of jazz    so basically i guess that affects all of my family members. As far as i could remember, mum blasts Earth, Wind & Fire or George Benson through her jbl speaker almost every night so that explains everything.

I learned to play piano when i was 4 and things just kinda went from there. Like i used to sing at the school's choir (but i don't anymore.) and a lot of other things. Music has always been there for me, sad, happy, whatever. Remember amateur's feeling - porcelain raft from last post? There you go.

4:How many concerts have you been to?
- Let's see uhm, P!ATD, Paramore, Katy Perry. I couldn't watch MGMT and the whitest boy alive and the drums because i'm still underage. :( OH! I went to watch Sondre Lerche last year on a jazz festival. Does that count?

5:What is the favorite merch item you’ve ever purchased?
- Beatles mug! I almost bought their lunchbox but i bought elmo instead. (enter plot twist?)

6:Who is your favorite musician/band?
- easy, Arctic Monkeys. And phoenix! Ugh that band is really really underrated by the way.

7:What song do you listen to when you’re sad?
- Luna by Smashing Pumpkins (acoustic version). This song has some kind of a personal memory for me, so it never fails to make me cry. Or maybe stuck in the puzzle by Alex Turner because it's a great song.

DON'T JUDGE but i listened to justin bieber's be alright yesterday and it hit me. (Only God can judge me.)

8:What song do you listen to when you’re mad?
- Any song by the arctic monkeys to be honest. It has some weird sense that could soothe me.

9:What song do you listen to when you’re pissed off?
- Family by The Cast of Cheers. I can't explain why, because the lyrics don't really match up with the situation but if you listen to the song you'll get it.

10:Have you ever moshed?
- No but i've seen one live on paramore's concert last year.

11:CD’s or iTunes?
- Vinyls. iTunes!

12:What is your favorite album? Why?
- My favorite album... i can't choose between Portamento by The Drums or Parachutes by Coldplay Or In Rainbows by Radiohead.

I kinda go with Portamento, though. It still has a bit of similarity from their first self-titled album, but portamento is just amazing. Jonny has this smiths-like tune on Money and all of the songs are ridiculously catchy, somehow. The lyrics are insanely bitter but i can relate to it because it's written by a teen's perspective.

13:Who is the funniest band/band member you know?
- Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. Funniest band? The Lonely Island......haha.

14:What band has the best lyrics?
- COLDPLAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! And i like best coast as well. But she & him has this really cute lyrics that makes me want to cuddle in a bundle of joy and puke rainbows.

15:How has music helped you?

- Music has helped me in a lot of ways. For example, last year it helped me through the toughest moment, and just by listening to it or playing it on an instrument made me feel better--which is weird.
