(C) 2015 Fairly Extreme Limited, under exclusive licence Virgin EMI Records, a division of Universal Music Operations Limited Questions: When are you gonna do a tour in the US? TO ALL: Favourite Irish/British slang word/expression and what it means? What’s the story with the music video of ‘Get into it’, so far it’s only available in Japan...? There are 5 of your songs in which you are talking about tea (BCJ, I need to be your only, Lover Leaves, Filling the spaces in, Everyday), are you tea addicts and how do you drink your tea? Why is your hair getting shorter and shorter? ROSS: it is rumored that you took most of the pictures that are in the booklet of Little Victories, is photography and art in general something you are into? EVAN: Does the cat from the documentary ‘Best thing since Cavan’ that was trying to get in the window haunt your dreams? PETE: How do you feel about having this mug added to your merch? JOSH: What does the TCT on your guitar mean? A couple of days ago you performed at the Versus Versace Fashion show, how was that? Can you look at the camera and re-enact your reaction when you found out that Little Victories was N°1 in Ireland. JOSH: You posted the picture of BMTH’s new record That’s the Spirit on Instagram at some point, the album came out two weeks ago, did you listen to it/what do you think about it? TO ALL: Best concert you have attended as an audience member? Craziest fan story? Do you speak any other language than English? ROSS: You didn’t wear sunglasses at yesterday’s gig in Derry, is it the beginning of a shade-less era? TO ALL: Most recent ‘Little Victory’? What do you miss the most, home while you are on tour or touring when you are at home? Were you guys fighting over the last McVities biscuit when shooting the cover for Hot Press?
