With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
I, Chris, was on set at work. I work in film and tv, so it was a dramatic screech to a full stop and a mad scramble to finish up shooting so there'd be enough material for the production to be finished in editing.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Massively. We have our second ep totally ready to go, tours were getting planned and scheduled, and music videos were in the process.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
I've personally been writing loads, lyrics, poetry, a screenplay... The Thing has also been sending song ideas back and forth. Safe to say there'll be plenty of The Thing material in the future.
Favourite quarantine meal?
Breakfast for dinner, for sure. Eggs, toast, baked beans, fried tomatoes, bacon... full english baby!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay safe, stay sane, do some damn push ups, drink water, and breathe. Call your mum or bestie.
