'It feels like a vindication,' says frontman Liam Fray, as the band's debut St Jude hits number one.

Fifteen years later, what does St Jude mean to you?

It was just me, writing to keep myself occupied when I was stood in a shop, bored, selling polo shirts.I worked in the Fred Perry shop in Manchester and we were very quiet in the week, so, I just filled my notebook and watched the characters passing by. It was the same on the bus from Fairfield to Manchester: Every person that got on, I'd be jotting down what they were wearing, and how they were talking to their friends. I was obsessed with these characters.

But I feel more at ease with them now. Or more at ease, maybe, with who I was as an 18-year-old, being envious of other bands.Oh God, all of them! There were big bands that would come into Manchester, like the Long Blondes or The Cribs. They were so far out of my sphere, they might as well have been the Beatles and The Stones, because I just had an acoustic guitar and seven songs.a band.

I'm not saying she didn't deserve it obviously, because that's a great record. But it's funny that the person who beat us to number one was in the same office.Oh no, there was plenty of champagne drunk, don't worry about that.Do you feel like the album's reputation has grown over the last 15 years?
