Alterkicks chat to I Like Music

MARTIN: Yeah.

ILM: Larrikin Love has done the first remix for any act on the second 7". How did that come about?

MARTIN: Guillemots and a couple of other bands did a cover of one of their songs and they were saying they wanted to carry it on, and we just got on with them and really like their music, so we said, do you want to do that and they did it. It's really different, different lyrics and stuff, so Ed's come up with his own take on it. It's really good.

ILM: Rocksound included you as part of their Hot 100 for 2007, how does that recognition and belief feel?

MARTIN: Yeah it's good. It gives you confidence you know. Even when nobody is saying anything though, you've got to keep believing in what you do, in theory, but if you're not getting any of that you can feel like "are we doing the right thing?" So, when people say this band are good, it, gives you confidence. But you can't feed of it too much, because there are times you'll get slated I reckon, it's natural. Every band I've read a good review for, I've read a bad review for, so you've got to make sure you don't feed off it too much and get a really big ego because you'll be heading for a fall.
