TRAV BAILLIETALKS HOST SUCCESSOVER

S: Hey Trav, thanks for joining me today, so did you expect to get this far 6 months after you released your EP?

T: No way man! This whole thing is such a surprise! When we re-leased the EP we expected for it to get noticed in our home town as all our family and friends where excited to hear it, but I could not of thought it would reach the other side of the world! Weve had messages from fans in America and Australia! The fact we actually have fans is pretty amazing!

S: Hell yeah! It is amazing, and you definitely do have fans, after what we saw at your SOLD OUT gig at the talk bar in Birmingham! Are you hoping to play bigger venues soon?

T: That show was insane man! It was probably one of the best shows weve ever played! And the atmosphere was amazing! We had crowd surfers and the whole floor was basically one huge pit! I had so much fun! Yeah man, weve applied to support Man overboard

on their Wolverhampton date on their upcoming tour, so fingers crossed we get that. And if not lat-er in the year, then next year were hoping to do a small tour around the UK.

S: A small tour! Now thats news youre fans will be happy to tour! Now I heard from a source that back in August Epitaph records made contact about signing you to their label.?

T: Yes they did aha! Whos your source? [Laughs] but yeah they contacted us in August and were flying out to LA in 2 weeks for a meeting with them which is excit-ing but at the same time so nerve wracking! Were also playing a secret show if everything goes to plan!

S: Yes I think we can, sorry hear about that, back to the band! How long have you, Tom and Karun been friends then?

T: ahh, and since I can remem-ber, Me and Karun live around

the corner from each other so we went to all the same schools and we would always be round at each others house and then we met Tom at Secondary school and we all clicked as we had the same interests and its been us three ever since then! Couldnt imagine where Id be without them, and if I wasnt in a band with them two it would never have been a success! Theyre both very talented musi-cians and my best friends!

S: You are all very talented and the last few months show that! Are you working on anything at the moment?

T: well, obviously I dont want to give too much away, but were going into the studio in April and were going to be putting down all the tracks to songs weve started working on already! I cant wait to hear it when its all done!

So Trav joined me and talked about their success in the last year and what they have planned for the upcoming months.
