What are the band up to at the moment?

We only have 2 more gigs until the end of the year, Speed Freaks ball and our record release show at Islington Academy 9th Dec, then we are having a well deserved break for a month.

Best gig you have played so far?

Probably playing with Rancid at the Brixton Academy a few years ago. That was one of our first shows on a big stage in this country so it was a bit daunting but it was really cool to meet Rancid and play for a big crowd.

Whats your opinion of the UK punk scene at the minute?

I have to admit I don't get to many punk gigs unless I'm playing them (being a mum and all) but as far as I can make out there are small scenes in most towns. The festivals are best though, like Wasted or Speed Freaks, where there are all your favorite bands + new bands all under one roof and everyone from across the country and beyond comes for the weekend.

Favorite Deadline record and why?

Definitely Take A Good Look. We really took our time with this album and let the songs develop before recording them. We spent a lot of time on the overall sound, that combined with excellent drumming really makes all the difference. Also I got to record the vocals 3 times until I was happy with them which was a real luxury.

Who are your heroes and why?

I'm not into hero worshipping or anything.

Favourite all time band and album?

I'm really crap with albums. My musical taste changes with my mood.  I much prefer to make up my own tapes of all my favourite songs or I get "best of" albums. Lyric wise one of the best albums I'm listening to at the moment is You Really Got Me the best of The Kinks. I love songs like Dead End Street and Waterloo Sunset. Musically, and for singalong value, I love Pink's album Try This. I love singing along and it sounds like Rancid with a female
singer! I've also just discovered Lilly Allen and have been playing her album to death recently. Obviously Rancid's Out Comes The Wolves is close second...

Who rocks your world right now?

Herve. He's the love of my life and my best friend. We had a big falling out recently so we are doing a lot of making up at the moment ;)

What makes you happy?

Making up

Tell us what annoys you?

Bitches! People who drop litter. I sound like a mum now. Traffic jams. Incompetency. My manager. People who blow smoke in my face when I'm singing!

Favourite bevy and how often do you indulge?

It depends where I am and what I'm doing. I don't drink when we're playing but on the last April tour I did get a taste for red wine and Jagermeister (not mixed) as neither of them dried my throat out. I love a nice medium white wine with dinner and if I'm out on the piss I'll have Vodka with coke or orange so my hangover's not too bad.

What will you be doing in 10 years time?

Lounging on a beach in the Caribbean having won a million!............. More likely I'll be exactly where I am now paying the mortgage and trying to make a million.

Do you have a message for the world?

DON'T DROP LITTER.
