Music

Let’s go NUTS!

Who are your biggest music influences?

SK: I love The Beatles, they show what four regular boys can do if they put their minds to it. I also love songs that tell a story so I’m a sucker for country music.

SS: We bring lots of 60’s influence into the band as we all listen to older music. We have a beatlesesque vibe with a modern edge.

TH: Our main collective influence would have to be The Beatles for their genius song writing and vocal harmonies.

 

What would you say has been your best performance so far? 

SK: I enjoyed headlining Brighton Rocks at Sticky Mikes Frog Bar. That night it hit me that we were special, I felt like The Nuts could be unstoppable.

SS: Brixton Jamm was good. Simon played after coming out of hospital the same day, that’s Rock n Roll for you.

JM: There has been a few to be honest. Headlining a Brighton rocks gig was a really good one. They are all good for their own reason.

 

Have you any embarrassing band stories to share with us? 

SK: There is an embarrassing video of us on Youtube. We are jamming Rude Boy by Rihanna on a train. We were all very intoxicated.

SS: Tom fell off the podium dancing in a club in Brighton once. (Sorry Tom)

JM: Just silly moments every now and again but that is what makes us who we are.

 

It’s time to name names, who is the biggest diva in the band?

SK: No one I would say is difficult. I am always moody after a performance though, always wanting better songs or to change something. I think that helps push us forward though.

SS: We all have our moments. Tom was bad one night when he wouldn’t give me a chip. Couldn’t believe the reaction I got.

JM: I dunno, Tom manages to suit any clothing he decides to wear regardless.

TH: Simon Keet.

 

So guys, where do you hope to be in five years time?

SK: Happy and content with a hit record.

SS: Somewhere hot, it’s freezing right now!

JM: If I only knew that. Hopefully continuing to enjoy it all.

TH: On a tour bus in America.

 

And lastly, describe to our readers The Nuts in one word.

SK: Climax.

SS: Priceless.

JM: Crackin’.

TH: Thenuts.
