Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott was interviewed whilst on holiday in Spain at the end of March by Glide Magazine to promote the Down 'N' Outz.
Joe talked about the second Down 'N' Outz album The Further Adventures Of, their next album of original material, the February Def Leppard album sessions, his ongoing album project with Emm Gryner (G.r.y.n.e.r...), Mott The Hoople and what still excites him about making music.

I mean, they may have written some stuff but we haven't played it to each other. I don't know what they do in their down time (laughs). But I've written these specifically for the Down N Outz."
