They think Busted are going to be big winners at the Brits next year (don't have an actual quote though)
'When we first started out we was in rehearsals with Busted, actually. We seen them along the journey as well, so I think we are like them in a way, the way we're looked at - they're professionals and we're professionals.'
'I'd actually like to do a song with Busted and we're talking to them about it but it's two different labels so it's gonna take a bit of politics. Hopefully it happens for next year also.'

Mark Owen
(review of Sleeping With The Light On) 'They're part of my record label. They're a good band cos they're exciting, with a good energy. I saw them on tour and it was great. They've got an American sound but that good pop-rock sound, too. I would've quite liked this when I was younger - my manager's neice loves Busted. It's nice that it's guitar-based and a bit different. I like it. I think it's quite catchy.'

'Charlie's the one with the big eyebrows? He's cute, I'd snog him. And then the punky one, Mattie, I'd have to marry him. But then you cant shove James off a cliff, either. Can we call it 'Snog, Marry or hug'?'
