"We were like, even more kind of artsy than we are now like, when we were like sixteen, seventeen there were no pictures of our faces, there was no… this and that and that, it was just a Myspace page with music on it. And, for some reason or another, some girl who followed another band or something had met our manager and told him about our Myspace page and he checked it out. And it was rubbish, so he thought, well that's rubbish. He then sent us an email asking us if we had any new material and we'd actually just come out of the studio and we'd recorded Robbers. We sent it to him. I'm what, eighteen? And then this guy, this grown-up, started ringing me all the time saying 'Can I come and meet you? Can I come and meet you?' and I was thinking, like, yeah if you want… but I've got, I don't know, I've got like, school and… you know? It was all… it didn't seem very realistic. And then Jamie turned up in his BMW and his barber jacket and he was like, 'I want to manage you' and we didn't know what that meant. We were like, what do you mean? And then I think the first… he said 'I want to be your manager' and my first question, I thought I was being savvy, I said, 'How much does it cost?' He said, 'It doesn't quite work like that, mate, but I think you guys could be one of the biggest bands in the world'. And I mean, he said that to us. And this… remember, this was a grown-up, we'd been through no processes of qualification. We'd been validated by no one apart from my dad. So, to have somebody who obviously had more than thirty quid telling us that we were going to be a massive band… We believed him."

“We waited outside in the cold for 2-3 hours after the concert and ~ 5 minutes after security "confirmed" there would be no meet and greet with Tyler/Josh, they came out and took some pictures with the few remaining fans.

I was going to see them again in Chicago on April 18th, so I told them "see you in Chicago" as we were walking away. At the Chicago show Tyler said something about being happy to see familiar faces in the crowd. I know many others were also traveling around to see them, but I definitely thought that comment was specifically about me at the time. 😂

They just have this natural ability to make every single fan feel so special.

I just turned 30 and I met them 10 years ago now, so I've been in my feels recently about how much this band has meant to me and how much they've impacted me over the last 10+ years. I've never felt this way about any other band, and I'm certain many of you also relate.

The Clancy tour will also mark my 10th TOP concert, and I can't wait to sing and dance with this wonderful clique again! I can't compare the happiness I feel at a TOP show with anything else!🫶”
