The Back Page: A Q+A with Chris Bangs from Talk In Colour
Being on the internet, Shout4Music doesn't have a back page. But if it did, it might look a bit like this.
We've asked a bucket full of bands and an array of artists to answer our questions on life, the universe and everything.
This time round it's the turn of Chris Bangs from Talk In Colour. Their single, 'Nightshifts' features on the film 'Junkhearts'. You can download it at the bottom of this very page.
Find out more about the band in this recent interview.
