What inspired you to put the band together in the first place?

My own experience in a band growing up was motivated. I wanted to manage a band without reproducing the same mistakes, prove that it can be done the right way.

Did you have any relationship with the Maximus family

I had no knowledge of Spikey’s background. His audition simply blew me away.

Wolfgang does not have a close relationship with his family anymore, I think he wishes to distance himself from them. I respect his privacy.

How did Hugo come into the picture?

As you may know, the band was ready to debut with a different lead singer…

Hugo came in and saved the day at the last minute, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. It was serendipitous.

Any word on the rumors of tension within the band?

Their career has been a rollercoaster, with three albums over only a couple of years. Lives that have transformed so dramatically are bound to experience challenges, but they’re more bonded than ever!

Fans have been eagerly waiting for a formal announcement, what can you tell us?

Everything will be revealed next week, the wait is almost over.
