Already championed by BBC6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and Radio X. Teen four piece Anorak Patch have released their latest single ‘Delilah’ via Nice Swan Records, which is a tale of wanting more than the small town you call home. They took a moment to talk to us about the inspirations behind their music.

O - Sonic Youth , Black Country New Road & Radiohead - all because for me, they were able to do something new and exciting with music that I hadn't heard before.
Ef - Aphex Twin, Black Midi & UNKLE - they are all incredibly talented and I feel that they have made a huge mark on music.
El - Mitski - a great lyricist, Geddy Lee- unreal bassist & Victor Wooten - unreal bassist.

L - School of Rock because i have watched it a ridiculous amount of times and can quite every line word for word.
El - I enjoy music documentaries they inspire me to strive for music.

What city do you find the most inspiring and why?
O - Liverpool - the hustle and bustle of Liverpool I find inspiring because its completely different to a place like we live.
Ef & L - London - as if you walk around you see such a diverse range of people just within a mile radius.

Who is the most inspiring person to you and why?
O & L - Geordie greep because it's geordie greep.
