The interview appeared in the April issue of a Polish rock mag, it was recorded in January. Basically there is nothing new: A-ha, Depeche Mode influences - check, Matt Squire's musical background similar to Ville's - check, new album more optimistic - check, Ville working hard on it - check.

thing I haven't heard him state before:
-in 2009 he went out to meet with friends about....3 times
-as a band, they respect women and are more than the old "push it in then pull it out"
-on the muse, let me translate:

"Lyrics on Screamworks are about the relationship forming and then falling apart. I take it they are based on personal experience?

Of course, I always did this and that's what my career is built on. I don't know where the idea that the relationship is over came from - I think that music this energetic should rather symbolise the light at the end of a tunnel.I started writing the lyrics when, in a sense, I lost faith in any relationships whatsoever but then appeared someone who turned my life upside down. And it's not over yet! Obviously, I have no idea about what's to come but this relationship definitely isn't over. It's a mission that has yet to be accomplished. You know how complicated relationships are. For the last year I'd been working really hard on the album and it's a kind of a Valentine for this person. Maybe through the music she'll understand what I feel because it's difficult for me to put what I feel into words. This is probably why I started playing and singing at the age of 12 or 13 and wrote my first song. It's always been easy for me."

-Screamworks may have been called Pickup lines from hell but Ville decided it's too cheesy and Baudelaire in Braille was too weird

-on posing topless: it's a part of the rock culture along with make-up, he thinks it's rather fun and it came naturally, he's the leader of the band and the image is important that's why he does it. He says that being a sex symbol doesn't do anything for him and doesn't help him in his private life.

-on touring the Eastern Europe : They will come back to Europe in autumn, may play in Russia, Lithuania. They've never been to Poland or Bulgaria but it's impossible to go everywhere. He'd love to play a gig in Warsaw but can't promise anything and advises to send him lots of angry mail demanding a gig.
