For those who did not click on the link to read the review of Sunset Scavengers / iComa and have never come across Butterfly Fan the Inferno (BFTI) before. BFTI are from Birmingham, have a solid foundation in creating uncompromising rock music, with a bit of ska thrown in and currently lineup with Jase Holgate (bass), Paul Collins (drums), Tony Wilkinson (guitar) and John Kelly (vocals & guitar).

Grumpyrocker: "First question has to be where does the band name Butterfly Fan the Inferno originate from?"

Butterfly Fan the Inferno: "That came from the mind of John; fucked-up weirdo misfit that he is."

"Do you prefer to think of the band as being born in 1999 or 2006 when you first started gigging? And what is it about the current line-up that encourages the term “settled” to be used?"

"Bands are very volatile entities; you know when you are a settled line-up. The thing about mentioning 1999 is that people compare us to Axl and the “Chinese....” saga...that's wrong!"

"You’ve had two singles released in fairly close proximity, what are the feelings about releasing an album of tracks?"

"What's the obsession with albums? Johnny Cash wrote over 1000 songs; how many of those were amazing do you think? What studio album by him is hailed as a classic? None. It's about SONGS....we believe in quality not quantity. The truth is that at least 90% of bands don't have what it takes to make a great collection of 10-12 songs."

"How best would you describe your music and what would an uninitiated individual experience at one of your gigs?"

"Every song is unique so the listener must judge for themselves. Music is personal."

"You mentioned at one point “We're gonna keep delivering our music, uncompromised, and then when it's time, we're gonna fuck off!” – does this mean there is a plan to what you hope to achieve through BFTI and what would mean calling time on the band?"

"Why go through the motions? We could break up tomorrow if we think it's right."

"What are the drivers behind why you are making music?"

"Teamwork, self-expression, communication."

"What is your view about the current music scene?"

"Pants"

"Which bands influence the music of BFTI?"

"Originals. Renegades of Funk"

"Who are you currently listening to and who should we all be looking out for?"

"You need to tell us!"

With a huge thank you to the lads from BFTI for taking time to humour Jimbo's questions.
