The Coronas have revealed they have banned all Class A drugs from the band – as it would be “a bit weird” if they were “coked out”.
Frontman Danny O’Reilly said the group have always agreed by the rule, which bans them from using cocaine, heroin and ecstasy.
He said: “We had a little rule in the band that there’s absolutely no Class As. It doesn’t even need to be said.

“That’s crew as well. It’s the way we’ve always been. It’s the same with my friends.”
And Dave McPhillips told Hot Press that they would find it “weird” if they were off their heads.
He added: “We wouldn’t get into any Class As or anything. It’s not a militant thing, but it would be a bit weird if somebody was coked out. It’s kind of a mate thing.”
But Danny admitted that they can make songs out of a boozing session – but wouldn’t use “alcohol or weed” to make the magic happen.

He added: “I think a hangover can sometimes give you a song like My God on the last album. Pretty much about a hangover.
“Sometimes a late night glass of wine can be nice when you’re working on a song and you’re sort of loose and enjoying it.
“So yeah, I wouldn’t say we use alcohol or weed or anything like that to write, but at the same time it depends on the situation.
“Sometimes having a glass of wine or whatever can help you.”
