Teun: My dad had an old bass guitar laying around that I picked up when I was nine years old. I played bass for a couple of years (pretty decently, I might add) before deciding I wanted to sound like Jimi Hendrix and started playing guitar. My earliest influences were mainly blues players like Magic Sam and Otis Rush. After that, I started checking out all the music my dad used to listen to, bands like The Smiths, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Fugazi. Nowadays, I listen to mostly non-guitar-based music.
Jurre: Every time my dad and I would go somewhere by car he would play mainly four artists: Van Morrison, Il Divo, Acda en de Munnik, and Dire Straits. So growing up I mainly listened to those artists. Later, when I got my first phone that had internet access, I discovered so much more music. Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths, and Bob Dylan especially made a big impact on me. Bob Dylan’s lyrics are the main inspiration for my own lyrics.
