This Scottish band really makes me smile when they start to play their punkrock in old style. Here´s an interview done with them in march 2015.

Please tell me a little bit history of the group?

-We originally formed in 2005 but at the time we were just kids mostly playing covers. After a few line up changes we got to the current line up in 2009 and after staying quiet for a short while started taking things seriously then and just kept going and now here we are.

Please tell me a little about every member in the group right now, age, family, work, interests and something bad about everyone? Have you been in any other bands before?

-Mike (guitar and vocals) is 23 and works as a building site laborer, interests include music, going to and playing gigs, tattoos, collecting records, anime and wrestling. A bad thing about Mike is the smell of his feet. Jamie (guitar and vocals) is 23 and works as a workshop joiner. Jamies interests include going to and playing gigs, tattoos, drinking cider and American Horror Story. A bad thing about Jamie is that he is far too excitable. Steve (bass) is 21 and works in Tesco as a shop assistant. His interests are gigging, reading, cigarettes, television and anime. A bad thing about Steve is he is always late. Ted (drums) is 23 and works building refrigerated vehicles. His interests are drums, tattoos, hats, Travis Barker, Assassins Creed, Star Wars, his dog and macaroni. A bad thing about Ted is that he smells, disappears and likes to make a mess.

I can hear old bands like Defects and Straps from the 80´s in your music? Am I right? Favorites from the past? --Not particularly, those are bands we have not really heard much by. Any resemblance you hear there will be purely a coincidence.

Skizofrenik are you satisfied with the name?? How did it came up? Which is the best band name you know?

-Yes everyone is satisfied with the band name. It came about because of the 2 different faces of the music we play and how the faces of the songs change between whether it was Mike or Jamie who wrote the song. Everyone has different ideas for what makes a good band name, everyone has their own favorites. Ted likes Spunk Volcano and the Eruptions. Jamie likes Gnarwolves. Steve likes Rise Against. Mike likes The Exploited.

What´s the best thing with playing live?

-The response/feedback from the crowd.

And where is best to play? And the worst place?
