Sitting across from the brand new band, ‘Author’s Note’, in the Mix Tape studio; I can barely contain my excitement. With their coffees in hand, they are glowing with the success of their debut album’s release.  Where to start? Their immense growth into fame in just 6 months is kind of daunting, but their cheery smiles and laughter is an encouraging start. As I set down my drink, their nerves begin to show but with a few jokes tossed around we’re ready to start.

Prue Sierra (Left) and Morwenna Scott (Right) first met in 2008 when Morwenna‘s dad was offered a new job in Canterbury; so they moved from their cottage home in Cornwall to find a new one. Of course with a new house and city comes a new school, this is where the pair first met; in a GCSE French class where Morwenna was seated next to Prue. They instantly hit it off and through the next coming months got together to make the band- they didn’t do too well in their French exams, however, after finishing school in 2010 they were busking on the streets of Canterbury and were spotted by, their now manager, George Kase and it is from here that their career escalated into what it is today.

So, David Ives has named you “the most original indie band he’s heard in a long time” How does it feel to rise into fame in such a short time?

[P] Ha, I thought you said you’d being going easy, that’s a loaded first question...[M] I suppose we’re still getting used to it. It’s a pretty daunting prospect but really exciting.

Is there anything you have been doing to prepare yourself for the fame?

[P] Not really, [M] Sorry guys you’re going to have to deal with our weirdness! [P] Ha! Yeah sorry about that but on the seriously note, to be honest, we want to promote ourselves as truthfully as possible so we can relate to our listeners more. We don’t want to be the people that everybody looks to thinking ‘I wish I was like them’ we want to be the people who you could just go and pick up a guitar and be on your way!

I’ve got your debut album here with me, which I have been listening to nonstop all week- It’s amazing! Can you just tell us a bit about it?

[M] Yeah, it’s really just about all the fun to have in life, not really caring and getting on with things- it’s upbeat and we really hope it will get through to people.

So, what was the inspiration behind it?

[P] We were really fed up with the majority of music being about bad breakup and sad times, and yeah bad stuff does happen but why dwell on it! Think about the good things in life! So we wrote the album in hope that it would lighten someone’s day!

As we come to the close of our interview I just have one last question for you guys. What is your favourite song of the album?

[M] Well, mine is definitely ‘Caring isn’t an Advantage’ because it was the song that made us, really, the first we ever wrote that was actually any good. [P] I’m really proud of all the songs we’ve got on the album but I’d have to say it’s ‘Runner’ because it’s a really uplifting song that hits everybody in different way and it was our first song with a music video and it was just great fun to do!

Well, it’s been great to talk to you and I urge everybody to buy your album. Any parting words?

Just to say, it’s been great, thank you!
