You’ll Be Back from our latest album is also a great track to play live, because we have this big call and response part in the middle where we get the entire crowd singing with us. However, songs like Power Rangers and Pokémon go down an absolute storm live, and become huge singalongs in their own right.
Without a doubt, the Disney stuff is the most popular both live and online. What goes down the best online and at your live shows?
Your repertoire takes in everything from retro kids’ TV themes to musicals and classic/ contemporary TV themes. Then we go into the studio and I’ll record the live drums adding in any new ideas based on Stead’s guitars. Either myself or Benj (bass) will warp the original song in time to a click to start, then I’ll build it all entirely in MIDI, reworking sections, timings, adding parts and just making it our own then I send it to Stead to put guitars down. We always try to stick to the original structure and vibe of the song as much as we can. How does a PRF cover start from your perspective behind the kit? Is there a lot of freedom to write/rewrite drum parts? We never intended to be “funny”, but we really didn’t (and still don’t) take ourselves seriously at all.Ĭonsidering how much time we spend working in the studio, I would say about 75% of the time is making each other laugh, so that comes across a lot in what we put out. Initially, we were just choosing songs that were big at the time and having fun putting them together. There’s a strong tradition of covers and humour in pop-punk, what was the initial concept behind the covers and direction you chose? But it was a great escape for us to just enjoy making music together. Initially, it was just one night a week at a friend's dinky studio in Newport, where the toilet was battered and broke and there was always a sludge metal band playing upstairs. We all had the desire to do something together again so the idea of PRF was born.
