Juce are probably going to have quite a big 2015 so we thought weâd grab them before they stop being friends with us and start hanging out at Chiltern Firehouse with members of 5 Seconds Of Summer.We went for a pub lunch and a pint to talk about their pop preparations, which it turns out are pretty intense. I say âwe went for a pub lunchâ, I ate a massive meal and they had some chips. I say âwe went for a pub lunchâ, I actually left before them and forgot to pay the bill. So really a more accurate preface to this interview would be: Juce unwittingly took me out for dinner and I wouldnât drop it about the boot camp.(Oi oi! At the end of this article is a competition to win a ÂŁ200 ASOS voucher. Are we bribing you to read the whole interview? You bet we are. Watch this interactive Juce video then enter at the bottom of the article.)Noisey: Is it or is it not true that you all went to do a pop band boot camp in Berlin?
Chalin: Itâs not a boot camp but we do go and see this amazing woman. Everybody has different things in their performance that they need to fix up, so you go individually. It might be that your tuning is out. It might be that your dancing isnât right. It might be that your stage persona isnât right. Whatever it is, she will hone in on it and bring it out of you in variousâŠ
Cherish: Very German ways.
Chalin: Itâs not even German itâs just-
Cherish: It is so German.So what happens?
Cherish: You have to read this book while youâre there.
Georgia: She gave me a lot of German childrenâs stories, like fairy and folk stories.
Cherish: And then it was like classic Beyoncé vibes, singing and skipping at the same time.
Georgia: Itâs one-on-one sessions but for like 6 days. Out in the park. Shouting at the top of your lungs.
Cherish: Itâs fucking full on. You only have like one lentil salad a day.Why do you have to go to Berlin for it?
Chalin: To get you out of your comfort zone. You could do it here, but it wouldnât be the same because you could go down the pub after.
Cherish: To be fair, I was up with her most nights past 2am talking about stuff and then up again at 8 like âDo your stretches!â And the stretching made me feel fucking sick and she was like, âOh, itâs because youâre opening up, youâre so uptight.âIs this a legit thing to do as musicians or is it some crazy cult that one of you is really into?
Chalin: If you want to be the best at something or make your way there then you need to know what to learn. And in accepting that, weâve decided to work with someone incredible who can make us do that.So sheâs like a fairygodmother?
Cherish: Kind of. I mean, itâs not cultish. Sheâs an interesting character because sheâs quite feely and spiritual in a way where maybe you could interpret her like that. But sheâs got this whole other personality which is totally German teacher, and thatâs just like no bullshit and her voice drops about two octaves.I really like the sound of this. Can she fix my life? Iâve got a lot of problems.
Chalin: She can definitely fix your life.
Cherish: The thing is itâs really not about relationships, you know? I was like, âIâve just broke up with a boy!â and she was like, âShut up. I donât wanna hear about it.âSo sheâs not encouraging your emotional development?
Chalin: It is if itâs about you being an artist. Sheâs interested in picking up what it is that makes you an artist. I mean, if you arenât standing on stage properly and thatâs linked to one time when you were five, then sheâll talk about that. But thatâs the only reason sheâs gonna talk about that. And then sheâs gonna punch it out and get rid of it and deal with the situation. But itâs not about all the other fluff youâre using as a barrier between you and what youâre doing, because she doesnât care about that and sheâll tell you straight up.Youâre like those people who go to uni and donât drink or go out or anything. They just do their degree in one year and then fuck off.
Cherish: Sheâs kind of like that actually. Sheâs like a gap year and a university experience rolled into one, but for a performer. Itâs like the School of Pop. Think of popstars now that have had a bad time. Whatâs the one from Steps who got fat?Claire?
Cherish: Yes. Send her to Berlin and sheâs gonna be fucking winning.She could even fix Claire from Steps?
Chalin: She can fix anyone.Could she fix Lee from Blue?
(Silence)So did you meet each other before you knew you were going to do JUCE?
Georgia: We met at a party and just talked about music because we all liked the same songs and stuff and we were all at a point where we were making music but didnât have the right people.
Cherish: We didnât even get each others names straight away. Weâd been talking about music but we were just disorganised or whatever, so I was saved in their phone as âGirl Band Tingâ, which I still am.Who popped the question first?
Georgia: I took them out to the pub and was like girls, do you want to be in a pop band with me? Chalin looked at me like âpfft, you dickheadâ. And then I explained obviously there would be all sorts of integrity and it was all very meaningful and it was going to be fucking cool.
Chalin: I was into saying âyesâ at the time.
Cherish: I didnât give a shit.Ok well thatâs pretty much the end of the interview. Letâs finish by asking the two questions I ask everyone. What were your first email addresses?
Cherish: buttonmerchant, and it is still that. A button merchant was like, you know when you used to collect badges and stuff when you were a kid and youâd be like âIâm a button merchantâ
Chalin: babygirlpuff. My ex-boyfriend used to always call me âbaby girlâ and we used to call my boobs âsugarpuffsâ or something so itâs a combination of those two.
Georgia: iloverainbowsbabyâŠ
Cherish: Are you lying? You are so out of the band.Sorry Georgia. Finally, How would you end The Simpsons?
Cherish: Bart becomes a rent boy. Bart goes really dark and becomes a smackhead. Bart grows his hair and turns into Jared Leto. Who plays Homer?
Georgia: Terry Richardson.
Cherish: Lindsay Lohan is playing Lisa, obviously.
Chalin: Nah Lindsay Lohan would totally play Maggie.
Cherish: Whoâs going to play Lisa?
Chalin: Lisa would be really fucking dry. Whoâs the girl that looks like you? Sandra Bullock.Par. Thanks guys.(Right remember before when we told you about that competition to win ÂŁ200 of ASOS vouchers? Ok great. Well here's your opportunity to do just that. Just answer the question below.
