[Singer/guitarist] Billy [Lunn] has been diagnosed with nodules on his vocal cords, and has been advised to take at least 6 weeks complete rest from touring, which will include the [North] American tour. We're all really disappointed by this, as we had been looking forward to the coming dates.

Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.

Seventy per cent humidity is ideal for vocal cords.

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.

It started as a joke. [Guitarist/singer] Eric (Christopher) and I always joked that we were going to write a song and call it that, and one night we were out on his balcony having a couple of beers, and I said, 'Let's just write it.' So we did, and it turned out to be this catchy little punk song. There's no real meaning to it; it's more of an emotional outburst.

If you actually relax your vocal cords they actually work better.
