Andromeda...isn't that a galaxy somewhere?
Yes! We took the name from a book about space. It was completely by chance! We found the name Andromeda - the name of a galaxy - and thought it suited our sound.

Who's who and how did you meet?
Joe Ings, Chubs and Max Welsman met at the age of three at playgroup! They formed a band and met Amy McGill in secondary school when they were 14.
Joe and Amy are the intellectual ones, Chubs is talkative and Max the quiet one. Being musicians we love arts but have no time for sport - or any physical exercise for that matter (except, that is, for dancing like mad on stage!)

Tell us about "Walking In A Straight Line"....
"Walking IN A Straight Line" was written by Joe when he was staying in London without his guitar! He wrote the whole thing from the top of his head. It's our first song with dance influences (check out the middle eight bars of Drum n Bass)

Describe your music in three words.....
Ambient, Powerful, Original

You're all still very young, what does the future hold?
We want to continue working hard; gigging, songwriting, recording and getting publicity until hopefully one day we get discovered. We're very ambitious.

They're young and ambitious but can they make music? Take a listen and tell us what you think by

And if the ambitions pay off..?
We'll try not to let it get to our heads. Arrogance can be the downfall of many a good band - see Oasis!
It would be nice to play festivals and huge venues though, as well as to make brilliantly produced albums. It will be nice not to be bossed around so much!

What's the best and worst thing about Devon?
Exeter is a beautiful city with good live music venues and pubs such as The Cavern and The Fizgig. The worst is the lack of interest from record companies in the Devon music scene.

Whose records do you have in your collection?
Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Squarepusher, Leftfield, Massive Attack, Rico, Red Snapper, Incubus, Aphex Twin and millions of others - we have a very wide taste.
