BEST MUSIC VIDEO OF 2015?
Justin Beiber – ‘Sorry’.
You can just turn the sound off and listen to whatever actual jam you want, these ladies featured in this video (that Justin’s not even in) are pulling off some of the best dance moves I’ve seen in the last decade!

BEST GIG YOU’VE SEEN 2015?
I got to see FUZZ play in Toronto and it fucking blew my mind! Sounded amazing. Everyone was going crazy and the band were all wearing corpse paint. Best gig of the year for suuuuuuure!

BEST SHOW YOUR BAND HAS PLAYED THIS YEAR?
I’m not just saying this, but our Australian headline tour was such a blast! We’ve trying to book a headline run in AUS for the last 5 years and were so pumped it finally worked out and all the shows were such a blast! On top of all that we got to tour and hang out with the amazing people in High Tension who are just the nicest and greatest people. Definitely such an amazing time!

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TOO IN 2016?
Next year we have an awesome headline in the UK and Europe and then we’ve got a bunch of time off and I’m really looking forward to riding my motorcycle as much as possible and having the raddest summer ever!

Cheers Liam for the answers!
