What time is breakfast?
Before and after going to sleep.

Tea or coffee?
Tea and coffee.

Smoking or non-smoking?
Non-smoking.

Sweet or savoury snacks?
Both.

What food do you miss when you tour?
It was hard to find salad in the States. I miss preparing it myself mostly.

Who’s the best cook you know?
Jamie Oliver, he’s a good one isn’t he? Got all them kids eating leaves and that, got all them books out and everything.

What’s on your rider?
Ale, fruit, hummus, avocado, pitta.

Which country/city has the best food?
Mexican people in the US know how to do it. Over here Mexican food has been translated pretty badly, I think.

Do you eat out a lot?
On tour, yeah. Seafood mostly if I can get it / afford it.

Do you eat or drink onstage?
I’d love to see someone eat on stage. Drinking, yes – a lot of water and beer.

Dam Mantle’s official EP launch is at Nice N Sleazy’s, Glasgow, Thu 4 Aug.
