"When me and James Rushent first started writing music together we decided to put it up on MySpace We needed a name to put as our profile name so just put what was the first thing that was said on TV, we switched it on and Ricky Gervais said "My Drinking - Does it offend you, yeah?" so we just went with that. No thought went into it whatsoever."—synth player Dan Coop, NME.com interview
