We’ve all not been to many weddings, so playing at one was very special. I love that you used our alias wedding band name! Playing a wedding was a really cool experience for all of us. How was playing your first wedding as Dirty Mike and the boys? We definitely will be working with her again if she’s not too busy, I think she’s doing stuff with MTV at the moment, we’re stoked for her! We did something similar with our last single and EP having them artisictly linked together. The artwork for this single is actually taken from a future image that we’ll be using for another release. We’ve been lucky enough to work with Yoko for a few of our releases now and she nails our vibe every time. Were you happy with her work and do you think you will be using her again? Super talented woman I must say! Nice! The illustration used for ‘Some Kind Of Wonderful’’ by Yoko Honda. We will always remember these cool milestones the most. We all celebrated together when we first heard that we were getting added to rotation. It’s obviously not something every band gets the chance to hear their song on the radio, so we were blown away and ecstatic when we first heard it played. When you listened for the first time can you share your emotions? We had a single “Dark Side of a Good Thing” which also got a little bit of radio play in 2017, so its great to follow up with another single and get that opportunity again. Yeah we’re super excited to get the chance to be played around the country on radio. Is this the first time your songs have been on the radio? You must be stoked about the radio play that you have received on this and your last single. And also he liked the idea of the person in front of you all along was the right person rather than the person you put on a pedestal from afar. Jordan (Vocals) is very big on 80s movies, and from what I remember he chose it because it was how John Hughes had originally intended Pretty in Pink to end.

Yeah thats pretty close to why we chose that movie over pretty in pink. Is this why you choose that movie to write your song about? Some Kind of Wonderful I remember was basically a recycled Pretty in Pink but with a better ending according to some. Yep we sure do! Our previous EP included 3 tracks that were recorded at the same time as Some Kind, and our next single will also be from this batch of recordings. We’re always saying that we would love to have grown up in the 80s and experience everything we write about first hand. In regard to writing a song based on a movie as you have done two now is there anymore in the pipeline? It was a great time to grow up, watching movies such as St Elmo’s Fire, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles and The Breakfast Club. I was a teenager in the 80’s, make you jealous much? Haha. I don’t believe it was because of a personal experience, but I know Jordan (Vocals) still added a personal touch to each song so it very well could be because of a personal experience he didn’t tell us about.

The song is based on not seeing what is in front of us in regards to needs, was this written from personal experience? I could def say I relate to this.Īs I mentioned above, the song was written more so as a character telling their story, rather than from personal experiences from any of us. Because of this, the process was very different to anything we’d done before, but we think it came out well. And as well as that, we listened to a bunch of 80s musical references such as Phil Colins, Go West, Tears for Fears ect during the writing process.

The song itself was part of a whole bunch of tracks we recorded last year, where the idea was the write songs from the perspective of characters in certain 80s movies we chose to write about. Was your sound for ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’’ based on a plan or did it take a sound of its own? Interesting that the 80’s sound is really coming back, many of my submissions are 80’s based, whether it is Prince or Springsteen. Thanks for chatting with us, it’s always great to chat to people that have seen us play before and know what we’re about. Hi Guys, g lad to hear that you have new music out, I saw you guys live many times quite a few years ago. I was lucky enough to have a chat with MOBS about their new release. This song is based on the 1987 John Hughes film of the same name. I love the 80’s retro revival direction music is taking this year. Their new single ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’ is no exception.
