The top 10 most inspiring quotes by James Righton
- It’s expensive being in a band, way cheaper buying a laptop.
- To play the ultimate Reading set, you need to freak yourself out for a few days beforehand.
- With the second record there’s a need to show that we weren’t chancers, that we could play our instruments.
- I’ve always loved melody and pop hooks, slightly left of centre but I have always tried to balance it with songs that have lyrics you can sing along to.
- We didn’t want to be another post-Libertines band singing about London and playing chords.
- People have used Crowley before, but we wanted to try and get a Crowley-reference song on the radio. We just wanted to have a go, and just try things. There was a kind of ‘why not?’ attitude.
- We want our audience to enjoy themselves, we want every gig to feel like an event – of course there are musical elements of rave to our sound, but we wouldn’t strictly classify ourselves as that.
- We have been fortunate enough to travel a lot and we focus heavily on melody and that really is an international language.
- If you look at the whole New Rave movement, the big common ground is definitely the fun element. It’s more outward-looking music than introspective.
- Being my own boss means I’m a nine-to-five dad Monday to Friday, it’s the best thing ever. It’s the most difficult, insane, wonderful job you could ever do, but it’s more important to hang out with your daughter.
