This week's dose comes from the lovely pop punkers Falling Faster! Reps to them for giving the most amusing 'Each To Their Own'.... read on to see what I'm on about. They've undoubtedly given the most happy and upbeat answers to date!
Firstly, a blind date style question – who are you, where do you come from?
We are Falling Faster, we're a bunch of guys from Tamworth, near Birmingham who attempt to create music!
Reasons people should give your tracks a listen?
'Cause you just might like it! And by the end of the EP, you just might want to listen to it again! Who knows!
Each To Their Own: what sets you apart from other bands & artists of the same genre?
Bright coloured clothes, fringes, 3/4 length shorts.. oh wait.. sh*t! Alright.. our Bassist Stanny works in Pest Control.. beat that! But in all seriousness.. I think what sets us aside with very few bands nowadays, is passion. We see bands play half-heartedly like they're not happy to be where they are, and we'd kill for that opportunity! We just love to play, any way, and anywhere we can! We don't play for the sake of it, we play as we love to write, record and perform, and the day we stop loving that, is the day we will call it quits! But it's not coming round anytime soon, guaranteed!
Sort of tunes you play?
Pop freakin' punk!
History of the the band: Why did you start making sweet music?
'Cause making sour music stopped being fun! We've been through line up after line up in this band, getting people here and there to fill in, but only found our proper line up within about six months ago, and now we're giving it everything!
Music to you is...
neverending happiness! How about that for an answer!
Every band/artist has influences and inspirations – what, or who, are yours?
We, just like every other band, will tell you we have a wide variety of influences. But when we say wide, we seriously mean it. One of the biggest inspirations are Blink 182, putting aside the cliché for a moment, but it's the music the majority of us grew up with, and our lead singer Elliott's reason for buying a guitar and ever learning to play it! But our influences vary from pop-punk bands such as Hit the Lights, Boys Like Girls, Cute is What We Aim For, Every Avenue & Forever The Sickest Kids etc.. to metal bands such as Parkway Drive, Killswitch, Haste the Day, As I Lay Dying and many more bands, people & genres.. but a lot of it just influences the way vocals, lyrics, or structures of the song are done, not the melodies or instruments!
Aspirations for the future?
To record our single, follow it up with a music video, then early next year record our full length album and then tourtourtour! Keep your fingers crossed!
That’s all folks! Any last words, requests or demands?

Aw shucks guys, you're more than welcome.
Get behind them! Though, not literally, they're not *that* kind of band...
