Few bands divide opinion as much as Scouting for Girls. Critics continue to savage the London trio but their popularity continues to soar. Their self-titled 2007 debut album has sold around 900,000 copies and remains in the top 30.

Getintothis' self-confessed fanboy James Pearce caught up with bass guitarist Greg Churchouse at the start of their six-week UK tour.
