I listen to Helmet - and I love Helmet, they're a great band - but every song sounds the same.
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's.
