Beach Riot recommend their fave lockdown hobby: "Star Trek. Nothing comes close"

Newly signed to Alcopop! Records, Brighton fuzz-pop quartet Beach Riot have just released their tune 'Tune In, Drop Out', a song about "the freedom to do what you want" - which at the moment seems to be 'watch lots of Stars Trek'? And perform at this weekend's Homeschool, obvs. Hi Rory! How's it going? Have you been up to anything fun today? Hey! I'm doing goooooood. Today I have been mostly watching Star Trek: The Next Generation (quite the habit during lockdown so far...) playing guitar, and making pastry.

How have you found self-isolating so far, are any of you essential workers? It's been not too bad, none of us are key workers, so we've been all locked up and trying not to drink too much each day. For me personally, it's gone in phases, at first I found I had little motivation to do anything, but more recently I've got into a good routine of getting some demos down, exercising, and generally trying not to lose track of what century I'm in.

What would you guys have been up to now if the pandemic hadn't hit? Have you had to change your plans much? So we were out on the road touring with our pals Gaffa Tape Sandy when this all hit, I'm pretty sure we were one of the last bands out there. We had to cut the tour in half, which sucked big time. We had some fezzies coming up too that sadly will obviously not be happening.
