We help Dance Aid as well, which help other children in other countries. If we can raiase awareness for other places, that's a good thing to do.

-Moving to the single, how's the reaction been?
It's actually been amazing. We've been working on it so hard lately. We're doing a school tour at the moment, and obviously it's a completely different venture to get into the music industry.

All the kids are really getting into it, loads of people are learning the routine and sending in videos. We just did a primary school now, and all the kids were learning it in the playground. It's really good.

-What prompted the idea to write your own material?
We basically always did the music for our dance routines. We always mixed, put the vocals in and any other talking parts.

When we were in secondary school, we both used to rap and MC, so we thought, why not go for it fully and do our own tracks?

That's how 'Jump' came about. We produced the beat and wrote the lyrics. Then we thought, let's do it seriously and that's when 'Jump' appeared.

-Do you have a full album planned at some point?
Yeah. Well, at the moment we have three singles all sorted and done. We're pushing 'Jump' out there now, which is due out the 3rd July.

Hopefully it does really well and gets into the charts. Then, we'll move from there to the next one. Then, hopefully it'll be an album, a concert and a tour. It'll just keep growing.

-You've got a tour with Jedward coming up. How did that come about?
We did Celebrity Juice with Keith Lemon, and Louis Walsh was on the panel. He spoke to us backstage afterwards, and we got chatting with him and our management.

He said he loved what we did, and got us in touch with the people sorting out the tour. We went and had the meeting, and they said they'd love to have us as part of their carnival tour in August in Ireland.

So, we're doing it promote our record as well. We've got a nice half-an-hour to warm up the crowd and perform our three tracks. It's a great platform for us.

-Are you excited to get out to that kind of audience?
Yeah definitely. Their fan-base is so huge, and they're the same sorta age range as we have as well. It'll just be an amazing show. Full of energy.

-Once you've released more of the singles, are you hoping to get more of a crossover fan-base for the music side?
Hopefully. Some people are surprise we have a song. They don't really grip it straight away or grasp what we're doing. Once you hear the song, it sounds like our song.

The whole feeling of the beat, the way it's chopping and changing, the whole song is the reason we did it. Everyone can see that we haven't lost us in it. It's still Twist & Pulse but in our own song.

-You got your break with Britain's Got Talent. Who's been your biggest help since then?
When we first came off the show, we had management that put us straight into booking. The more you perform and put yourself in front of more people, the more they'll know what you do.

You'll get people looking out for it, you'll go to more corporate events and meet more people. It's just our fans really, because they're always asking for more from us.

Them asking for more gives people booking us a reason to, because they know people want to see what we're doing. We're constantly being creative and pushing each other.

-What message would you give to our readers?
Just thank you for the support. There's going to be loads more from us, and we're going to be pushing it out to make sure Twist & Pulse stay there for you guys. We couldn't have done it without you.
