“We actually make all of our own music videos. Often we come up with the visual concepts at the same time as writing the music.”

“Working in Italy can be quite hard because they don't have schedules - we arrive at TV shows and they're like, 'We're not sure when you're on, could be a minute, could be an hour.' We were on their equivalent of 'The Voice' and the timing was determined by whenever the judge decided the time was right. We waited five hours!”

“The videos are definitely as important as the music.”

“When something sounds good, I don't think any of the connotations matter.”

“Well, the band name is just a stupid thing. We used to live in Russia and our friend there, a Russian lady just kind of described my sister as a clean bandit.”

“I've spent some time in Edinburgh before. I used to go up there to busk and actually went to the Fringe a few times as a teenager with my cello.”

“I'm just so honored to be able to travel around the world and play songs.”

“I wouldn't call myself a singer.”

“Keeping your lives as varied as possible is a good thing.”

“Yeah it would be great to do something with Stormzy.”

“I think I like attention, but because of the way we are - because we don't have a lead singer and all the videos have so many different people in them - I think people aren't really that sure about who's in the band.”

“I'd do another Cortana advert, I don't see why not.”

“We were introduced to a lot of dance music that we were blown over by. Kidnap Kid we love, WOZ, and Rudimental.”

“To work with different singers gives us creative freedom because we can experiment with different sounds on every song.”

“It's so different in the different states, it is sometimes like being in a different country.”

“If it's a heartbreak-related stress, I like to listen to Lauryn Hill's 'Forgive Them Father' the most, especially the harmonies.”

“I'm certainly treated differently to the boys in the band. People make assumptions about what I do and don't do within our projects. We produce our music together and I direct and edit the music videos.”

“We'd love to collaborate with Sam Smith. I've told him. Many times. We've got loads of songs we've written that we can literally just hear his voice on.”

“Being in adverts, it's a tricky thing, I suppose.”

“I do wish we recorded the early stuff we did, because we basically had an album.”
