RepoMen, Denzil Watson and Ric Bower, kicked off their shoes, poured a cup of tea, and sat back in music reporter Rachael Clegg's sofa.

Go to the Front Room

The Sheffield band visited Rachael's living room for the new series Front Room, where bands talk muisc and perform live for the Telegraph reporter.

When asked to stick one of their tracks in the record player RepoMen picked Star.

"It's good, old Alan Smyth," said Denzil when Rachel had pressed play and the tunes filled her front room.

"So what exactly does Alan Smyth... Can you tell us a bit about what he does? 'Cause he seems to be a guru," said Rachael and sat down on the floor in front of Denzil and Ric.

"He is a guru," replied Denzil.

"What you have to do is hear what this was like before, and what it is like after," Ric said..

"Can you imagine I had a bloc of stone, right. There's the bloc of stone and when you take it to Alan's. He's a sort of master sculptor with sound and it comes out as this perfect bust," explained Denzil.

"He's good at altered tuning vocals as well. So I like him," Denzil said and laughed.

"Yes, 'cause I would never have put, no disrespect to your talking voice, but I...," Rachael started.

"What are you trying to say Rachael?" Denzil said biting his teeth.

"It's quite angelic," Rachael quickly replied.

They all laughed.

"It's like an angle," Rachael continued.

"Oh, thank you," Denzil replied looking up in the ceiling.

"Yes, you know, an angles does tschhh...," he continued with a sprinkle movement of the hand and started sining "Lalalala" in a very high pitch.
