Every quote links to the moment in the episode."I was totally in love with 'Parklife' when I was a teenager. It just brought me back to my childhood, you know, when I was at home listening to this album in my bedroom, and particularly the song 'Girls and Boys' was like the big hit for me and my friends at school."Watch this moment
"I choose the Lionheart album from Kate Bush because it really inspired us for the new album, you know, the animal sing. I remember the first time I heard her voice; it was like totally different and I was almost crying."Watch this moment
"Rage Against the Machine is probably the link between the three of us. The live show in Los Angeles is so intense, so crazy, the energy on stage. It's something really strong."Watch this moment
"Townes Van Zandt, it's really hard to pronounce for me, and it's a wing to America, you know, because the last time we went it was in November and we played in Austin, Texas... we were like wow what is that, it's beautiful, the voice is beautiful."Watch this moment
