Now you\u2019re Germein! Coincidence?! What brought that on? Does this mean one day your brother will be joining you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">G: Now that is a good question! We had been thinking about a slight name change for a while and when we started started creating, recording and producing our music ourselves and taking charge &#8211; we decided on dropping the sisters and settle on Germein!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0think our brother will join us any time soon &#8211; but the door is open for him anytime. He thinks we may boss him around and make him carry everything!!! No seriously he is very talented but his number one priority is his horses and his job &#8211; we are immensely proud of him.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> EP: You\u2019ve become a regular feature at the Isle of Wight Festival, coming up later this month, but you\u2019re also touring around the UK supporting Little Mix! How cool is that &#8211; how did it all come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">G: We are stoked to be touring with Little Mix in July! They are such a talented and down to earth group of girls who are smashing it in the music world at the moment. We\u2019ll be opening the show with a lot of fun and high-energy original tunes, plus a mash up cover thrown in to sing along to\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We were lucky enough to open for a couple of Little Mix shows last year, so it\u2019s incredible to be invited to back to play 15 arena shows this year\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: Your new single \u2018Talking\u2019 is out now, it\u2019s an upbeat rocker of a tune.

(Personally speaking I think it\u2019s a good choice).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">G: Oh thank you so much. \u00a0We decided we wanted to start making music on our own terms, and so tried recording and producing &#8216;Talking&#8217; ourselves in our home studio in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. When we hit play, we knew it was the musical vision we\u2019ve had for ourselves finally coming to life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> EP: Similarly, who or what has inspired you most this year, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">G: A friend of ours died tragically in a car accident a couple of months ago. Her passing was a wake up call to how short and precious life is, In life people can be afraid to do what they love and follow their dreams\u00a0because\u00a0they are afraid of failure. But we have learnt to follow our hearts, work hard and do what we love to do,\u00a0create and embrace opportunites, live life with no regrets, every day is a second chance.
