Operating as a duo since forever, London sisters Colette and Hannah Thurlow ditched their previous punk projects to finally arrive at 2:54. Hailed as Radio 1’s Newest Hype, the pair’s combine jaunty guitar riffs and distinctively new ideas into a brand new rock and roll sound that’s inspired by greats like PJ Harvey. Wonderland<\/em> caught up with Colette.<\/p>\n

\"2:54\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You guys have just rounded up your European support slot with The xx. How was the experience for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was inspiring. We played in a Circus in Paris, at Usher Hall in Edinburgh, opened up at Shepherd’s Bush. Very special, historical venues. It was amazing to be able to watch The xx play every night too!<\/p>\n

Is there ever any sibling rivalry in the band, or do you have a strict professional relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve always hung out together, we love making music together. <\/p>\n

Is there ever any musical differences or do you find it easy to compromise when making music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We both come from different angles when we approach a song. We’re inspired by each other musically. We both know when something’s right, we don’t need to speak too much about it.<\/p>\n

How does your sound differ from your previous project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We played a handful of shows prior to 2:54. It was a punk band: two minute songs where I shouted and Hannah shredded. It was totally different from 2:54 sonically but it certainly ignited the desire to learn more about live shows and wanting to play live. <\/p>\n
