We would love to tune with Tinie Tempha lyrically he is amazing love what he is doing same with Dizzie Rascal, Kanye West awesome producer would love to do some thing with him, so many artists doing great things... Lady Gaga, Plan B, Quincy Jones, it nice to see artists working together like Florence and Dizzie they work well, really worked that song it was on the edge. it is nice to see different artists from different music genres coming together.

Are you nervous about how you will be received through the media and your fans?

Any body who has seen us live or are coming to see us live will known were about having fun, we don't take it to heart if some people don't like us, if you don't then so be it, were happy being together and giving the fans what they want, we are confident and we have a clear idea of what audiences need, performing being on stage is who we are, what Damage are all about.

You have your first big gig since re forming- Any pre stage nerves? what can we expect from your live show?

Expect Fire! expect excitement, good energy, a real good professional show, we perform well from taping in to the energy of the audiences, expect fun!

Which of your songs give you the biggest buzz performing live?
