Each song tells a specific story and that's fun and it can go about any subject,

about being drunk or falling in love, finding a woman. Losing a woman, but

also bigger things in life. We've written songs about environmental problems

worldwide, so we are not shy to write about some more serious stuff as well.

So yeah, we’ve got a song which is called ‘Back In The Ring’, for example, I

wrote it after a difficult period, and it was about getting back on your feet
and taking on life again. So it's all very personal stuff, but that makes it fun,

and I think that's also part of why the band is doing so good when we perform

on stage. People hear the story and relate to the stories. It's not that we fake

our music. Somehow an audience knows when the musicians on stage mean

the songs that they play and are serious about it and they experienced it

themselves. So yeah, that way we try to keep it simple and keep it honest and

keep it authentic and that's what we do.

year we are back, and it warms my heart actually because when we started

out back again with the band after being away for four years, I thought, and
I told the guys, men, people, they have forgotten us.

But the phone started ringing, and festivals and blues clubs started calling,

and we've played every week this last year and at great festivals and all over

Europe, and it's been great. It’s so good, actually, that we are aiming higher

for the future, and the first step is we want to make the new album. We hope

to deliver a great album and I think we will. And then we want to play more
