Pull quote: “We want to be Unpredictable!”
Today I’m joined by the biggest boy band of this year otherwise known as Nu Direction, for anyone who doesn’t know who these boys are, which seems very unlikely! We have Garin Jones (16), Tom Harris (16), Alex Webb (16), Stephan Lane (17) and Sam Price (19) for their first ever interview there was only one magazine that they wanted to talk to: Drop a Beat.
Here’s what happened when we spent the day with the five cutest boys in the country…Just for you!
We find out what they’ve been doing since the X factor and how they are handling their new found fame, we also talk about their new single “Up all Night” which will be released next week!
Hey boys, so how has this past year been like for you?
Garin: It’s gone so fast we’ve been so busy that it’s just flown by but if I had to sum it up in one word I would say it’s been very hectic.
Alex: It’s been surreal I can’t believe that this is actually our life now it’s crazy.
Sam: I know that I speak for the rest of the boys when I say that without a doubt this have been the best year of our life and we are so grateful to have this amazing opportunity.
Whose idea was it to call the band Nu Direction?
Stephan: I think that we all had a say in what the band should be called but I think that Tom was the one that put forward the name “Nu Direction”.
Tom: Well I hate to be the one to take all the credit, but if you insist then I guess I will.
Ok, this is probably a silly question but with all this craziness do you ever wish you could go back to the days before you were famous?
Garin: Never, I love everything about my at life the moment, the only let down is that we don’t get to see our friends and family as much as we would like to but then when we do we get to make it extra special.
Tom: I love all the craziness so I would never go back, it’s still hard to get used to the fact that all the fans are screaming for us, and want to see us, but I would like to see my family more.
Alex: I wouldn’t go back even with all the craziness it’s still a great opportunity we’ve been given and the best thing that I have ever done and I’m thankful for it all.
What is the craziest thing a fan has ever done to get close to you?
Sam: I remember once a fan drop her phone into my pocket so that she would have to come back tomorrow to get the phone from me, but it didn’t really go to plan because the security took it off me and gave it back to her but it was still a pretty good attempt.
Stephan: We were in London the other day going to the studios, but when we got there we weren’t able to get out of the car as the fans had surrounded it so we were trapped, it was pretty scary when they started banging on the windows and rocking the car which was crazy but funny, Its just mad the extremes that some fans go to.
That does sound pretty crazy, what’s it like working and living together?
Alex: It’s great-non –stop fun. And it’s never quiet, that’s for sure.
Are there any annoying habits?
Tom: Yeah, Sam’s got a very bad habit of being clean. Well, probably not a bad habit- it’s a good habit really, but he just always wants to be clean.
Sam: That’s true-I’m the cleanest in the house!
Well what sort of can we look forward to from the band?
Garin: We’re trying to make our own sound really, and just to be our own band.
Stephan: I think we’ll all have to just wait and see how it goes.
Alex: We want to be unpredictable, so you can expect something unexpected.
I’ll look forward to that then, what is your debut single “Up all night” about?
Tom: It’s basically about five boys having a good time and partying all night.
Sam: Yeah it’s about that and also it’s about finding that one special girl that you want to stay up all night with.
Aww that’s sweet, what would you be doing if you weren’t in a band?
Stephan: I would be in sixth-form studying to be an English teacher.
Tom: I would also be in sixth-form studying Law, Business and English.
Sam: I would be in university studying to be a drama teacher.
Alex: I would be doing something to do with sound-engineering.
Wow who knew you were all so smart, now this is the question that I think every teen girl wants to know, what are you looking for in a girl?
Garin: Someone who can make me laugh and has a nice smile.
Stephan: I like girls who are cute and also have a good personality.
Alex: I like a girl who has nice eyes and knows how to have a good time.
There we go girls, finally what would you like to have achieved in ten years?
Tom: I would like to have had a number one album in another country; I think that would be cool.
Sam: I want to be able to say that we have sold out a world tour and still have the support from our amazing fans.
Garin: All I want is to still be doing what we’re doing right now and having as much fun as we are that would be enough, but I would be thankful for anything else that happens.
Well Its was lovely to talk to you all I can see that you are lovely, grounded boys who are loving every second of being famous, you’ve got a long and great career in front of you, Thank you!
