    President talk about their rapid accession and why they’re not an industry plant.

    “When you blow up really quickly, it’s assumed you’re backed by a huge corporate machine,” he tells us. “People find it hard to accept that something can just explode organically. But if something’s getting a lot of attention, you’re gonna draw equal measures of hate as you are love. I’d rather people felt something than nothing at all.”

    In fact, Mr President insists that he “couldn’t have planned a harder way to introduce President to the world”.

    I can’t see that mask and not hear “I am not a plant” in the Richard Nixon voice/cadence of “I am not a crook.”

  3. Funny how much of a non answer this is as Charlie has to keep the mystique surrounding this project intact.

    Sure, saying “simple, I’m Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar and I’ve managed to amass a shit ton of connections through my 25+ years long and fruitful career in the music industry etc.” would be more honest but that’d break the fourth wall and I figure Charlie doesn’t want to blow up the fantasy lol
