We chatted to The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco recently. After previously featuring on BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing, Fiasco have released their latest EP, 'Cruise Control', and were willing to speak to us about it. 

1 Who are The 1957 Tail Fin-Fiasco?

If we could tell you, we would. Donny Osmond's lawyers are scary dudes. We broke the terms of the injunction once and now our manager only has 3 fingers on his left hand. Had, I mean. He passed.

2 You've recently released your 'Cruise Control' EP, tell us a little about this?

Lyrically it's an exploration of Scientology, a portrait of an urban cowboy and his trusty steed, a list of life stuff and a drinking song for use in cheap chain pubs. Musically it's early 70s New York, London and L.A. in a bucket. Unless you're one of Donny's lawyers in which case I don't know what you're talking about.

3 You've received airplay from stations such as BBC 6 Music, how does it feel to hear your tracks on the radio?

It feels ace. We've played on lots of other people's records and heard them on the radio but that made us feel dirty and ashamed. Now we just feel dirty, which is better.

4 Where do see yourselves in 5 years time?

The usual places - pound-shop windows, streaky pub toilet mirrors and reflected in the Thames at dawn.

5 What's next for The 1957 Tail Fin-Fiasco?

We've been good boys, so Her Majesty may be lifting the injunction soon - in which case we can go public for live gigs, a whole album and a sack race down The Strand.

Huge thanks to The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco for the interview.
