1. Where did you get the idea for the band name?

Cole: We were in the village of Turville, doing a pilgrimage to the site of Vicar of Dibley

Nath: …and stumbled across a Stud Farm when mucking about, lost in a field.

2. Where is the band based?

Cole: Oxfordshire

3. Why did you want to play this genre?

Nath: Hey, it’s only Rock n Roll, but we like it!

Cole: Plus y’know, our love of big, groovy riffage

4. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Nath: Yes, Cole and I went to primary school together, but we weren’t friends for another ten years.

Cole: I can’t blame him; I’m incredibly annoying.

5. What is each band member’s favourite band?

Nath: AC/DC 

Cole: Black Sabbath, I think, but it changes every week. Had a Don Broco phase recently, love Biffy Clyro too.

Nath: Biffy Clyro, The Darkness, Turbowolf, Dead Poets Society

12. What’s the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?
