Frontman Murph tells Newsbeat how TikTok could have helped to bring in a legion of younger fans.
Murph says the discovery of some of the band's songs on TikTok could be responsible for new fans.
Last year, Greek Tragedy, a track from their third album, went viral on the app when it was remixed by producer Oliver Nelson."The TikTok thing blew it up even more," he says. "I guess it's word of mouth. I don't know if there's something lyrically that really connects [with younger fans]."When Love, Loss and Desperation came out, digital downloads had only just started to be included in the charts.
And while the "streaming world has been amazing", Murph believes the best material will always rise to the top. "I don't believe in just slapping things up online, I don't think that model is going to last very long."But 15 years down the line, and with no signs of stopping - another EP is being released later this month."It would be hilarious to be slamming it through our 70s," he says.
"We're on our fifth album, but I still feel like there's a lot of juice left in the tank. And if I'm being completely honest, I really want to be in a band that has a back catalogue of like eight, nine or 10 albums.
