What was the inspiration behind the latest single “Learn to Love Again“?
It was inspired by the question of if you did love someone but you broke up with them for whatever reason, can you ever get back together with that person?

What’s the feedback been like?
It’s been amazing actually. When we perform the song live, it goes down really well.

Are you excited about the gig in Bangkok on Apr 1?
I’m so excited! It’s the first time in Asia for all of us, and Thailand is the first stop on our tour. We are ready to go.

How has fame changed your life?

We get a little bit of attention when we’re together, but we’re really just enjoying the moment. We enjoy being with the people who like our music. It’s amazing. The main way that our lives have changed is that we so busy now visiting more places. Two to four years ago we spent our time at home trying to get gigs but no one really wanted to come and see us! Now we get to travel around the world playing to people.

How was your recent UK Tour?
It was the biggest tour we’ve done to date. We finished up about 4 or 5 days ago in Dublin, Ireland. It was so amazing. As it was the Chapman Square tour, we played all the tracks from the album. It was so much fun and the best run of shows that we’ve ever done. The people were all very nice; singing our songs. It was quite cold, though, because it’s winter over here in Europe at the moment. There’s a lot of snow outside; it was a very wintery tour.

Do you feel any pressure being compared to One Direction?
We don’t really feel any pressure from that. We are so different from One Direction, who are a typical boy band where all members sing. We’re a rock band with one singer. I’m the drummer and we’ve got a guitarist and a bassist. We are more like The Script, Maroon 5 or Coldplay. We can say that we are way more of a rock band than One Direction.

What’s the plan after you visit Thailand?
We actually have a new single that we're working on at the moment. It's not from the album Chapman Square, so there will be some brand new music out there very soon. I think it could be the best thing we’ve done so far, so I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.  Interviewed by Thamonwan Poungdee and Kornkamol Porapuckham
