To what extend do you believe that music and style go together?

Music is my life, it's what inspires me and keeps me going. So I express that through my clothes with badges, patches and stuff like that.

I heard that you performed in your pyjamas?

Yes, but just so I could be comfortable. I recorded our single in these as well. I think that you're more comfortable when you're in your pyjamas. I think it started when I lived on the beach in New Zealand. I lived right on the beach, the whole surf life thing, so I used to wear comfortable clothes to go to the beach and I think that's stayed with me.

How did living in New Zealand change you?

Living in New Zealand made me more open-minded to new people. When I returned to Wales a friend of mine lent me 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' by the Sex Pistols, and that changed everything for me. It clicked, and I knew what my life was about, and I started to dress differently.

Where do you get your clothes from, and do you adapt and customize them?

Yes, I add badges and patches to everything. I don't like the postcard punk thing with the Mowhawks and things, but I do like the idea that you can wear the music you love, and that you can take it off and put it back on again. You can constantly change the look of your clothes without spending a lot of money.

What's the story behind this black jacket?

I had a wedding to go to and didn't have anything appropriate to wear. So my mum bought me this, and then after the wedding I changed it to reflect my style and added some patches and stuff.

As a member of a band, is it important to stand out?

If you were sitting in a bar not knowing who you were watching, you'd see these four indie guys playing and just sit there nodding your head thinking, 'Yeah, this is ok'. But if you saw me from the corner of your eye, you'd go, 'Woah, what's that then?!'.

Tell me a little about the band's name.

I think shoes like stilettoes tie women down. They aren't the most comfortable shoes, and I think girls are forced into this image of what they should look like. I think stilettos keep you in one place and shows that you are locked where you are in life, like being a housewife or something like that. I don't want to be forced to grow up to be something specific, I believe that everyone should have the right to be free. But, there is something sexy and attractive about the name that makes people take notice, which is a good thing.

Do you also express your opinions through slogans on your clothes?

I call them Welsh Nazis. I have a top that my mother wouldn't let me wear to the Eisteddfod because it said 'Dwi'n Caru Saeson' ('I love the English') on it. I don't like the whole 'twll tîn pob Sais' thing. Because if you said 'twll tîn i bob dyn du' it would be racist, just because they live next door to us, it doesn't make it right.

So you express yourself to the community through your clothes?

Yeah, and that's also what music is about. I just say what I feel and try and be myself.
