Three years in the making, London band Clock Opera release their debut album 'Ways To Forget' this week. Very good it is too.
We recently caught up with the band as London basked in a brief but brilliant warm spell, so took the opportunity to head outdoors and chatted to the band under a tree in Hyde Park.
While dodging the squirrels who threatened to invade the shot, Clock Opera discuss their debut album, their place in the music world, why selling out live shows is more important that topping charts - and revealed their own personal tales of rat infestations in their city homes.
The band are currently on tour across the UK, full dates below. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
