Miles Hunt - The Wonder Stuff

Miles: Of course it's a marketing ploy. The likes of Oasis or The Rolling Stones they don't change the name of their band after every release like you do album titles, of course it's a fucking marketing ploy and you don't need a fucking drummer to spell it out. I have no interest in whining babies at all, as much as I appreciate the past of The Wonderstuff, I'm far more interested in it's future.

ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on earth?

Miles: The Longming which is a lovely range of hills in South Shropshire. I have a house up there, and sometimes you can go on top of the hill on a Spring morning and be above the clouds and it's breathtaking. And it's right on the doorstep of my house.

ILM: What is in your CD player right now?

Miles: There's a band who's touring with us called DarmaDrive, they've released their debut five track EP called Audio Porn to coincide with the tour, and I'm blown away by that, I think it's amazing.

I really like Beverley Knight's latest album. She's my favourite performer in the last few years. Damien Dempsey, he's a great friend of ours but also happens to be the greatest singer songwriter of the last 20 years as far as I'm concerned. He's got an album called Seize The Day and it's on the same label as ours.
