Before the third night of We Are The In Crowd's headline tour in Cardiff, Marc and Neil got to grab Taylor Jardine for a quick chat.

You guys have played two date's so far how are you finding the reception?
It's been incredible. So many people turned up, I don't know how. It's crazy. But my in ear monitor's weren't working last night so I ruined my voice on the first night singing too loud .

When you're not on stage how do you spend your down time?
I've just started watching Breaking Bad, it's very interesting, it's kinda scary, well it's not scary but I just never want to be in that situation. It's definitely very intense but I love it. I've only got though the first season, but the rest of the band have finished so I have to catch up. I've been doing that and reading Chaos Walking Trilogy.

So do you get out about much around the cities you go to?
It's harder on a van tour because you wake up really early, drive all day and finally get there and you're at work, so not much on this tour. Last time we were here we go out a bit, our sound guy was from here so he kinda took us around showed us some cool places.

You guys are playing all of the warped tour, any hints that you guys are playing the UK one off date?
We're trying, we were just talking to our agent about all that. If we're free we'll be there, but were not sure what our schedules like, but if were free we'll be there.

You've been touring a lot over the last year does it get tiring, do you miss being home?
I never really miss being home to much because I end up seeing my family a lot on tour, they come to a lot of shows, but we do get tired . I think I've been home for about 12 hours this year so far. It's kinda weird but it's good, I'd rather be busy than bored you know? Nicee...

*guy walks past in a towel*

I caught you in an interview saying English food was bland...
You know what's weird I was actually thinking about that today, and I think the first time I was here I just had a bad experience, I honestly think that, because last time we were here with All Time Low the food we had was amazing and this time I haven't had one bad meal so I'm like what is going on? However a lot of other people say that and I think the difference is that in the US there's so many condiment options and we're all like these like sauce connoisseurs, like we can put anything on and we love hot sauce so maybe that's what the difference was.

So If the US win with the food battle, where's the best place for you to play?
Oh god, I don't know. We really really love the UK because its just been awesome.

I mean, I hate the weather I absolutely hate it, but the response since day one has really welcoming and it hasn't changed and the fact that I can say that for now what's been a year of us touring is pretty crazy. That's really cool. Then there's certain markets in the States that will forever be our favorite markets but I dunno. I'm not just saying that because you guys are here but we love it here. We joke about it every time were here like were guna move here.

Well you know Mark Hoppus moved over...
He did yea, I think he's actually moving back.

I keep seeing you saying thank you for gifts, what's the strangest gift you've got?
One time I got this wooden block in the shape of a heart, and I was like ok I don't even know how I'm going to get this back in my suitcase. I'm going though this bag of stuff this girl given me and there was like my initial. it doesn't seem that weird but like when you're going through things like here's a bracelet some food some candy and all of a sudden there's these wooden blocks and they were really heavy and I'm like what am I going to do with it. Because they were really heavy like it had some substance to it I felt really bad about just leaving it behind but i just don't really know what to do with it. I just left them in the hotel because I just couldn't fit them anywhere, so I'm sorry if you're seeing this, I appreciated them but I just had no idea what to do with them.

What's the best gift?
I don't know, I really like letters and stuff like that. I'm a big fan of when people make things, I'm like a mum I guess. My mum always says that, you don't have to buy me anything just make me something.

You seem to have a lot of fun doing video's and your artwork. What's your favorite thing you've done?
The Kiss Me again video was really fun, we had all of our friends and family there. It was like 11 in the morning and were doing the live shots in Mikes basement, it's the first time we've done anything at home so it was cool to have everybody there and I see my sister and she's in the corner wasted at like 11 in the morning and she's pretending to know our songs and she's like looking at me I'm like please don't look like an idiot on camera. It was so much fun, I had bronchitis though which kinda sucked but I liked the fact we had all our friends and family there, people were like driving up from the city. It was cool. Also we did a promo shot and we had to stand on the edge of the building and Jordan's so tall that he's scared of heights, everything's that much taller for him and he's holding on to the camera and were all just dyeing laughing because he's literally in tears because he's so scared. That was fun.


Ok, final question and one that we at Alternative Vision ask everyone, it's all about the justification. If you could be a Zebra or a Giraffe which would you be and why?
I would be a Zeeeeebra I say Zeebra you guys say Zebra it's kinda weird. I think I have to say that because my sisters favorite animal is a Giraffe, so I think she'd probably be mad at me If I picked it.

Or you'd be closer and she'd love you even more?
We're already twins, or triplets. I would separate myself that way, nah I'm a really big fan of horses I've had two of them in my life so would be awesome.

Anything else you want to add?
We will be back this fall, I can't tell you what we're doing but we will be back and it's gunna be awesome and my voice will be a lot better so I apologise today I really do.

Just make sure your in ears are working and you'll catch me in the photo pit trying to snap some photo's of you...
Sweet, kick you in the head.

Cheers! Oh, what was it like recoding on Yellowcard's album?
Did that come out? I mean was that announced already? I didn't even know that was announced, if it was then it was awesome. It was a last minute thing. He just randomly asked me hey do you want to do the harmony in the bridge of this song and he just sent it over and I did it at home so I didn't actually record it with them.

Thanks again and good luck for tonight.
