What can you tell us about the single 'Single of the Weak' ? We just wanted to do a goofy song for a laugh. People have said it's a bit obnoxious but the message is supposed to be quite tongue in cheek! It's incredibly fun to play live.

What do you think of the current rock music scene in the UK ? I think it's very strong & thriving. To have bands like Muse & Biffy Clyro doing so well is really exciting for the UK rock scene. There are some great bands coming up like Fei Comodo, Don Broco & Brigade.

Your playing all four of your albums in their entirety in London, how did this idea come up ? It was talked about for quite a while & eventually we warmed to the idea as it's actually quite a daunting challenge. We have to reinterpret quite a lot of songs which is very exciting & it seems like a nostalgia trip for some people so I think the atmosphere is going to be something special.

What can you tell us about the single 'Bury Me Deep Beneath Your Skin' ? It's a really frantic, melodic beast stuffed full of passion! It was nice to work with Mike Curtis from CDS Studios as sonically everything sounds so huge & tight but vocally he manages to get a really honest, live performance out of me. I think it'll be an awesome track to destroy the dance floor to.

In November/December you guys will be playing a lot of songs that have not been played live in years, what's it like playing them again as a band ? Very interesting & surprisingly fun! I think we overplayed certain songs for years so we separated ourselves from that for a long time but now it feels quite refreshing to dig them out dust them off & reinterpret them. The shows are going to have a celebratory feel to them.

After the release of 'Pheonix: The Very Best Of InMe' what will be next ? We're trying to make the best album of our careers after this. We want to make an epic album full of hooks & dreamy euphoric sounds. It'll be big & all fat will be trimmed. I'm also releasing my debut solo album which is very exciting in a completely different way & we've also created a very interesting new album for a project entitled 'Centiment' which fuses tech-metal with dubstep. Lots of creative musical twiglets for us to chew on!
