      It’s good to see you young folks enjoying this type of music. Amyl and the Sniffers remind me of the bands I loved back in the day in Akkad. We used to do road trips on donkeys for days to get into a good concert. Back then it cost a half measure of barley to get into a show and you got a pot of beer and a free concert sackcloth on entry.

    It's funny hearing Declan talk about his guitar work, because you do hear it, and even when it's great, it's still a bit shit, but in this, just, raw, honest, going just past the limits of his skills kind of way, that's just perfect for the band. I hope no matter how skilled he gets, he always plays just a little bit harder than he actually can, so it never loses that feel of being just a little bit shit. The Sniffers wouldn't be the same if they weren't just a little bit shit :p
