Jesse Keeler: "Over the last three years of touring, Sebastien and I had grown apart to such an extent that the only real time we spoke was just before we would play and during interviews."
One reason he and Sebastien Granger carried on was that there were "good people working for us who relied on us to make a living and buy Christmas presents and pay rent.
"We started as a punk band with pop aspirations and we met every goal we set for ourselves. It was my goal to see how big we could become without ever compromising or changing what we did right from the start...and now I know. We did way more than I ever expected and I like to think the fans ... enjoyed it as much as we did."
