garage one day and Dean suggested it like came up with the idea and we
decided to try it out and play some tunes on the guitars and Pete on the
drums and we could see it working out
2.) What made you want to start a band together?We’ve been friends
since high school and we have always been into rock music and knew
how to play the guitar and drums so we just thought, why not play in a
band together!

4.) How did you come up with the name of your band?It took us days to try
and come up with one but then someone.. I think it wasBen, suggested
Sly Digs and we all liked it

like ages ago now

Stones, Oasis, T-Rex, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Stone Roses

music?We all seemed to like rock music and our style was quite
grungy/dirty so
8.) You’ve just wrote a new song what’s it called?The bitter end
9.) How did you come up with that name? Well the song is about just
carrying on, pulling through and getting to the end so we decided The
bitter end would fit perfectly
10.) How do you see yourselves in the future?Well we’re all in our late
20’s now and we want to be a lot bigger and grow as a band, so I think in
the next 10-20 years we’ll hopefully become a lot more popular and I
don’t know really… We’ll just see what happens.
11.) Would you consider doing a tour?Yeah we’d all love to do that, it
would take a lot of hard work but we’re up for anything.

so big that we could do a worldwide tour, why not!
13.) How are you different to other rock bands?We just have a huge
passion for rock music and we’re all like brothers to each other, we just
go with the flow and enjoy life and I think that’s what makes us stand
out from any normal rock band

trick- he can hold up to 9 mini sausage rolls in his mouth at once, it’s
brilliant.

around August.

Roses what a tune, that never gets old

remember how nervous we all were, but once we get into any
performance we just lose ourselves in the music and forget about
everything else.
