evolution is nothing but a good thing. “It should be
open as well because especially bands on the Sophie
Lancaster Stage, that stage stands for equality and
diversity, and we shouldn’t be categorising one genre
of music in the rock world. It should be open to be a
bit different, to be a bit more urban, because at the
