Q&A with Amy Meredith:

By Joel Chapman – Vox and Guitar

- You hail from Sydney’s Sutherland Shire but how did you all meet and form the band?

I went to school with Christian, Wade and I lived in the same street, I met Cam on the Internet on a dating website, and we met Kosta on tour and stole him from another band..

- You’ve said before that being accomplished musicians was a priority over immediate success. Do you think this has paid off now?

Well the album has taken a few years to be released. So We've definately had alot of time to master our instruments and develop our sound.. I guess it's only early days, with the release of the album only being last week. Time will tell how far we can take this.

- Many bands take forever to be discovered, yet after just two shows and a few songs you were being pursued by A&R from every record label. What was this like?

I guess it came as a bit of a suprise to us, and things were moving quite quick right from the start. But then, things slowed down, and we got dropped from two record labels and it took alot of hard work to actually write and finally release this album.

- Tell us about your debut album ’Restless’. What are you hoping people take away from it?

We focused alot on writing the best songs we possibly could for the album. We had about 60 to choose from in the end. It will be good to see if the album will stand the test of time. I love those CDs that you can just leave on in your car and listen to on repeat. Hopefully we've made an album that can be listened to like this. And inspire people to dance and frollick in the sun. And make babies. 

- You’re going on a big tour around Australia. What’s the best thing about playing gigs and do you have any favourite places to perform?

There's nothing better than playing live and having people sing along to the songs you've written. We love travelling and meeting our fans. Personally my favourite places to perform are cities on the coast. Waking up, going for a swim at the beach and playing shows with my four best friends is the best thing in the world.
