Being dubbed as the Uk's answer to the Black eyed peas, do you feel this add extra pressure on you to succeed?

Yes but its good pressure, it makes us want to succeed even more, to be compared to a band that are as huge as the Black Eyed peas is such a massive confidence boost, we would love to be half as successful as they are, so yeah it's a nice pressure.

What are your expectations towards mainstream success?

I don't think that you can't really have big expectations being a new band, we just hope that we can have big festivals success, we love being live, so the opportunity to perform live people loving our music is what we want that is success for us, Just to be able to do what we love that's what it's all about.

Work It Out the longest track to be featured on Street Dance 3D- what has been the reaction towards the light bulb Thieves and Work It Out since the films release? The feedback we've had has been really strong, real positive comments, it is so nice to look at other peoples comments, look at there response and to see them liking our music is the biggest compliment of all. The film it's self has had an amazing response, no1 in the weekly movie chart, that response has been really good for us, we have the longest song on the film, that's a massive compliment in its self.

How long did you spend on the recording of Work It Out for it to be on the soundtrack? Do you all write together or individually?

Not to long really, we got told about the film a while before it was released, we got a sneaky look at the script, we spent about 2-3 weeks writing it, there was a good vibe, with it being a dance film it was quite easy to write it, we all enjoyed it. we all write together, we will go in to the studio in the morning start with a blank canverse put our heads together and in the afternoon we have a jam going.

A lot of people don't see the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, can you talk us through a typical day for the Light Bulb Thieves?

From the 2 and half years we have been together it has always different, Studio days are us meeting up, Si our producer coming up with a track, we'll put our heads together, came up with different motions, came up with a story board because every song needs a story behind it, then put the lyrics together and lay down our vocals. When we first went it to the studio it would be the guys bullying me, you know three lads to one girl!! but now it's me bullying them! we have such a laugh in the studio together.
When will the album be completed ,released? We have actually finished the album, there is just a few finishing touches to do, we need to sit down and think of the albums title, which will be hard there is 4 of us that have really strong different opinions so there will be a lot of ideas going round!!

The video to Work It Out is scenes from the film, any plans to shoot your own music video for it?

We have plans to shoot the video in the next 2 months with the director from the film, when were filming the video were going to stick to the Street Dance vibe because that's what Work It Out was written for it will be along them lines... Me personally i would like lots of dancers!

Where do you find inspiration to write a song?

Mostly from each other, with the film we worked with the director we got a sneak preview before hand, we sat down with what the producer had told us, then we came up with the ideas and Work It Out was written!

What is coming up for the Light bulb Thieves that you are in particular excited for?

There is so much happening, one of the big ones for me is the Street Dance championship that is going to be so amazing, so excited to be performing alongside some amazing artists and also going into the studio working on new tracks, there is so many things going on, i can't wait, I really want to thank every one for supporting us, keep watching out for us, join us on face book and Twitter we love hearing from you.
