We're influenced a lot by The Dixie Chicks, we're not as country as them. We're influenced by so many people. I think we just love vocals. Anyone who's a good singer, we look up to.

Like I said, we all like different styles of music, so we bring something a bit different, hopefully, to the band.

-How do you think you compare to other girl bands like The Saturday?
Well, we're obviously five girls! We're all trying to do the best that we can do, to get the best songs we can. I think there's room for everyone.

Fair play to The Saturdays, they're doing so well at the moment. We just want to do be doing the same thing they're doing. To be together as long as possible, keep releasing music and making videos. I think there's definitely room for everyone.

-How have the shows with Olly Murs been?
The Olly Murs tour was brilliant It was, like, 40 dates! It was a crazy schedule, but it was so much fun. Before Olly, we supported Boyzone and Westlife.

They were in big arenas, whereas Olly's tour was in theatres. It was brilliant to do something different. It was more up close and personal.

It was an all-age audience, like a family show that everyone could come along to. Olly's fans really warmed to us. We noticed on Facebook and Twitter all the numbers were raising.

They seemed to really like us, so we were delighted with that. Olly was such a lovely fella, he's so grounded. We always called him a cheeky chappy. It was just a brilliant experience, really. We were so lucky to do it.

-Are you hoping to tour that extensively again?
Well, hopefully. We love being on tour and on the road. That's where you get to share your music and go around the country.

We'd love to, one day, have our own little theatre tour maybe, who knows? We definitely would love that.

-With how much the band's on Twitter, do you make an effort to be accessible to your fans?
For a while, we've done Wonderland Wendesdays where we go on every Wednesday and do a Q&A with them. A lot of the fans have questions and they want to know things.

Some of them have really good input about what their favourite songs are. We really do listen to them. We spend so much time travelling that we try to write back to some people.

This year we asked what they're favourite song was from the tour, and then we were trying to decide what new songs to put on. It is brilliant that they can put their input in too. It's brilliant, really.

-When the band started with the auditions, was it hard gelling initially, or did you all get on well from the beginning?
The first day, there were a few thousand girls who auditioned, so we didn't really know each other. It took a few sessions.

There were 8 auditions altogether, and it was after the second or third, when the numbers had narrowed down, that we all started chatting naturally.

One day we all went for a pizza together, we went out one of the nights. This was when there were still a few hundred left! We couldn't believe it when we were picked.

It wasn't hard at all. You're attracted to certain people and personalities, and luckily we were all attracted to each other. We're all laid back, we get on really well. It's so easy.

-What do you have planned for the rest of the year?
Next week we have a gig on Sunday for Magic FM, supporting Elton John. There's a few other people on the line-up too, but we're so excited to be doing that.

We get back into rehearsals for that this week. We can't wait, because we haven't had a band practice for a few months. We're really excited about that.

Then we release 'Nothing Moves Me', and have some summer shows.

We find out what's going on over the rest of the year as the time comes. Hopefully, things will be scheduled in. We seem to be really busy at the moment which is great, exactly what we want.

-What final shout-out or message would you give to the Wonderland Army?
A shout-out to all the Wonderland Army for their support. We love them so much, and we wouldn't be here without them.

Thanks to everyone for buying the album, and coming and seeing us at the HMV signings. Thanks so much.
