WALL FLAG.

1. "The longest time I've been away from Danielle was probably our very first tour, it was with Capsize and 68 and pretty much lasted for the whole month, as far as tours go it wasn't really that gruelling but the way the shows spanned out over lots of travelling was tough to touch base with home when I had five minutes, I think that tour showed me how supportive she was of what I do and helped me get to grips with what I'd be doing a lot more of." 2. "The longest I've gone without speaking to Danielle was on our 1st run with Being As An Ocean, my phone provider didn't know I was travelling and they blocked my phone, it was truly hell because we were moving house at the time so I just had to assume everything went okay, a few weeks of borrowing phones and relying on decent venue Wifi." 3.

The singer telling the crowd he'd been waiting all day for this slot was taken with irony though before finishing their set nearl...
