Next VGinside.com the interview offers you to the bassist of the group:
You are a very young group: what are your musical influences?
Our influences really are any type of good music, but they all love the classic bands of Rock and British Roll, from the Beatles up to the Stones, from Sex Pistols and the Clash up to Oasis and Blur
How would you describe your first album?
It is a very precise and honest description of how we see the world, and the music that we like doing. We have put our hearts and souls in him and cannot wait to liberate it of better possible form and to share it with the world.
You imaginábais that the people might meet you across EA, a company of video games?
It is a strange sensation, certainly. We know that 5 million persons in the whole world have listened to our music, and they all were playing the FIFA at the same time! It is an honor to be a part of something so incredible to be honest.
Are you players of habitual video games? what your favorite game is and what platform do you like more?
If, especially I!! I have my top 3 at the moment, UFC 2009, Fifa10 and the new Trials DLC
Do you have plans to keep on publishing your songs with EA? Is Cúales your immediate projects?
We have them. If you are hanging of Trax listens to EA you will hear more of PSR in the future
Of the topics that you already touch: what is your favorite topic and why?
This is like choosing a favorite son! We like to touch together, if we have a favorite topic it is probably more recent that we have written until now.
FIFA 10 has been tremendously successful of sales. In Spain it has been one of the video games most sold during 2009. Does it bother you that they know you as "those of the song of the FIFA 10"?
For the time being it is well. We hope to continue from here and finally we are going to come to the people of other ways, but we know that the FIFA will be the first time that tons of people - especially abroad - have found out about our band and that is very well for us!
I have seen that you have done a promotional trailer of Army of Two: the 40th day: how was this experience?
It was grand, but these types were scaring! In EA they made sure us that they were friendly and we end up by spending a good moment in the end.
How is the work with EA, they propose to you topics that you already have created? do you create them from a request of his? how is your work with them?
We do the best music that we can and EA takes care of his business, this is the best form, I believe.
To be ending, with the exit of your disc: do you have thought to do a concerts tour?
Definitely. We are still doing plans, but if we have the opportunity to bring our music to his country certainly we will make use of it!
Thank you very much in your time and to wish you the best of the lucks with your disc and with your ascending career.
Thank you very much, it has been a pleasure!
