Josh: "There's a Foo Fighters song on their new album and originally, accidentally, this had the same chord progression and same effect on it. When we heard the Foo Fighters' track, we went, 'Oh fuck,' and just left it. Then Max started messing around and came up with a different way of playing it."
max: "Foo fighters? No, no, no - to me, it sounds like The Killers. It's another great summer jam."
