Uncovering a completely new side of himself, ‘Evering Road’ feels like the beginning of something completely fresh. “It’s strange. With my first album, I was kinda learning on the job, and when I was writing that album, I didn’t really know what I was writing about. Those songs have a meaning, but not as much as what this album is. I just feel like finally, I’m an artist now and I can actually say that. I’ve grown into an artist, and I’m not just like a blagger!”

It’s a personal one for our Tom, looking back at a relationship which found a home on the actual, real-life ‘Evering Road’. “It’s not one of those ones where it’s like, poor me, everybody feel sorry for me - actually I fucked up in this relationship. And I’m trying to say sorry, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m human. I’m a better man now for it. Even though I lost someone that I really loved during that time, I can see that in that mode and that relationship, I didn’t actually love myself and I needed to love myself before I could love anybody else.”

We’ve never heard of it either, but basically don’t go rubbing your elbows in Mr Grennan’s space, yeah? “I don’t know where it comes from, but when I was younger, I hit my funny bone really really bad. I think that’s where it stemmed from, the trauma. But yeah I can’t, I can’t actually touch… like the inside of elbows are rank. If someone sticks their elbow out, I feel physically sick.”

Tom has a legendary dog… called Marmite “Well, you see I was told that Marmite was going to be a small dog and mate, he’s an absolute horse. He’s a Romanian rescue dog”. Photos are needed ASAP okay Tom. Tom’s improved his punctuality through the years of music fun, but take his advice on party timing…

“I wasn’t a punctual person until my manager drilled it into me that people are offended when you turn up late to things and I was like, really?! And then I got the whole concept of why it is a bit rude to turn up to things late, so I do understand it. Be on time always, and if you can be earlier, be early. It makes the person you’re meeting appreciate you more… but to a party? I’m not turning up on time! If you turn up to a party on time, you’re standing there talking to people that you don’t really know or like… urghhhh.”
