Junior discuss Beautiful Life, working around Mark Andrews' schedule, NXT UK TakeOver and Triple H (Exclusive)

I mean, I'm a huge wrestling fan and I love your music, so my Junior highlight is definitely you guys' appearance at Download Festival where you played a short set before Pete Dunne attacked Mark. Who's idea was that, and was it something you were all on board with or did you just want to play?

Mark: We wanted it! A lot of bands get to Download, it's a big opportunity for a band. We're just a small band and we're trying desperately to get to that big platform, so we thought, "How can we separate ourselves from everyone else on that stage over the weekend? I'd like to think we did a good job because we got to do a limbo in the crowd, got a massive limbo, with a huge rope going down the middle of the crowd. everyone involved, with the NXT roster getting involved, which was awesome.

The flip in the end, we were like, "Hopefully this will solidify us."

Matt: What else can we do? What else can we do?!

Mark: What else can we force into the set? So it was just something that came around quite easily, and relatively last-minute - as always!

Matt: I don't know if we decided to do it when we were at Download. Obviously, it was your [Mark's] idea. I can't remember when it was but I remember it being like, we were worried about getting past the red tape and stuff but the fact that we managed to pull it off... I didn't have to do anything. I say "we," I didn't do anything, I stood on stage and played guitar.

Mark: You can do the flip next time!

Matt: That's for next year. Did you hear that, Download? Next year!

So, you've technically shared musical stage with Pete Dunne, you joked about Triple H doing guest vocals earlier. You broke the news to me about Kurt Angle being a drummer via Sean Smith's Sappenin' podcast! If you could have any wrestler share the stage with you to cover any song, who would you choose, and which song?

Mark: An obvious one is Jericho, with Fozzy! If we could do a cool, classic rock version of A House That's Not Quite Home, that would be pretty cool. I'm trying to think of who else...

Matt: I want Undertaker to do a cover of Here Comes The Sun. That would be really nice. I genuinely think that would be pretty heartwarming.

Mark: Aleister Black, he's a hardcore kid himself, so I think he could belt out some great screamo versions. Maybe him, or a nice acoustic Elias cover or something, you know.

You guys can join him on RAW in the background.

Mark: There we go. Yeah!

Competition for Elias?
