We sat down with two other siblings &#8211; two brothers in fact &#8211; and instantly found this sort of comfortable, common ground. Esmay started talking about a\u00a0breakup she was going through at\u00a0the time, Max tuned his guitar to DADGAD and there was a lot of pacing&#8230;and four part harmonies. It was an emotional day, very powerful, but cathartic as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s it like making music together?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s incredibly natural..and often hilarious! It\u2019s frequently\u00a0littered with banter, jokes, loud opinions, high conviction and\u00a0occasional differing artistic opinions\u2026\u00a0but the coolest thing about making music with your brother or sister is that you don\u2019t have to worry about being\u00a0embarrassed in front of them and you know they\u2019ve got your back, no matter what &#8211; which definitely makes for a very open writing session. And when they give you feedback, it\u2019s always absolutely honest; there\u2019s no hidden agenda, it\u2019s just straight-up, which can also save a lot of time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Do you think it\u2019s bought you closer together?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has definitely\u00a0brought us\u00a0geographically closer together, and spiritually too. Once you go on tour with someone and see them everyday, experience random adventures and funny\/awful situations together &#8211; and they\u2019re your blood relative, well, it helps you know and understand each other better. As does writing with them! It can also enable you to wind each other up 10x better than before, but once you get over yourself, you see there\u2019s a lot of amazing things you can do as a team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Where did the inspiration behind the track come from?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;If This Is Love\u2019 was inspired by the feeling you get when you break up with someone, but wonder if you\u2019ve made the right decision. The only comforting thought at moments like that, is that if you\u2019re really meant\u00a0to be together, you\u2019ll end up\u00a0together one day in the future and all the heartache will\u00a0be worth it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s your musical journey been like so far?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Such an adventure, so many ups and downs but there have been amazing experiences we never would have dreamt of having\u2026Like playing at the Troubadour in LA, or performing at the Eastwood\u00a0Sound Stage at\u00a0Warner Bros. Pictures in Burbank, or even on Al Capone\u2019s yacht. Random journeys and a lot of days that we have looked at each other and said,\u00a0\u2018blimey, never thought we\u2019d do that!\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>If you could both work with any artist, dead or alive, who would you both pick and why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It would be\u00a0amazing to sit down with Fleetwood Mac and jam. Max took a lot of inspiration from Lindsey Buckingham and Esmay from Stevie Nicks&#8217; writing\u2026\u00a0Plus Mick on drums, John on bass and Christine on keys &#8211; it\u2019d be amazing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Can you describe your music in just three words?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Uplifting, hopeful anthems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What else have you got coming up?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are currently on UK tour and very excited in particular for our London show on Friday 12 April &#8211; as we will be playing it with our drummer and electric guitarist! We are also releasing our debut album,\u00a0\u2018Ready To Run\u2019 this summer!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>So what is next for this talented, sibling duo?
