Spring 2017 have to be there all the time .
Lizzy - I always have to be the exact opposite to what people want , so when people tell me make an album I ' m like ... no I ' m not going to make an album , haha we ' ll see .
Rockfiend - You ' ll do it when you ' re ready . Lizzy - Yeah . Kristian - When the time is right .
Mats - The songs are there , we have good material .
Lizzy - The thing is the songs we write always get better and better , I don ' t want to stress it out .
Mats - We can ' t rush it , we rewrite songs so many times .
Lizzy - It ' s pointless just stressing out an album , putting out three good songs and seven half assed , I don ' t want to do that .
Mats - We could ' ve done an album from the start writing half assed songs . We want an album that ' s going to be an appetite for destruction .
Rockfiend - It ' s going to be up there and stay up there . Lizzy - It ' s going to be an album I really care about . Mats - Yeah , we all care about .
Lizzy - I really don ' t care about what other people think , if they like it it ' s fucking awesome ! But this time around doing things , I ' m doing it for me and not for somebody else . And people seem to like what we are doing , it ' s a great fucking bonus !
Rockfiend - The record business you know .... the music business has gone , there ' s nobody interested , all it is making money and passing it on to the next thing , when you ' ve got passionate bands like yourselves that want to make it for music for fans and for themselves , do it ! Why not !
Lizzy - And that ' s why , I think this band is fun to be in , it was started for fun you know .
Mats - We ' ve had a lot of fun since we started .
Lizzy - You always want more that ' s the problem , it ' s a dangerous fucking business .

Rockfiend - Did you have to finance the tour yourselves ? Obviously it ' s just the two dates .
Lizzy - We basically did but try to break even , sometimes we hardly make anything after .
Mats - We try to make ends meet . Lizzy - As long as we don ' t lose too much money .
Mats - If there ' s a gig worth doing we try to maybe get one before and one day after . Raz White booked us here and he said do you want to do Bannermans , and you can have some cash for that and then you can come here . So of course we are here , so why not . That ' s what I try to do when I go to tours , make ends meet , we don ' t necessarily do it for the money because there ain ' t no money in it .
Rockfiend - The thing is you have still got to live and make money .... once the big time comes in .
Mats - If it comes it comes .
Lizzy - It was a lot easier when I was in my twenties , I had nothing to worry about back then , but now I ' m a bit older you gotta work to make money as well , that ' s something to take into consideration .
Mats - It ' s still a privilege to do this .
Lizzy - Yeah , it ' s a great privilege , we are lucky bastards ! Mats - To travel and to play for people that like the music and travel to see us , and that ' s amazing .
Rockfiend - It was just two dates , the Edinburgh show and this one ? Lizzy - Yeah , It ' s always fun to just try it out .
Rockfiend - Do you have any plans to come back to the UK ?
Lizzy - We would love to , hopefully when it gets a little bit warmer .
Rockfiend - Anything we can do to promote or help in any way we will do .
Lizzy - Ah great thinking , thank you . Mats - Much appreciated . Rockfiend - I ' ve just recently moved up near Aberdeen , which is
