Kingsland Road reveal their New Year's resolutions and Christmas present wish list

The end of 2014 is fast approaching and Pressparty recently had a chat with Kingsland Road about their worst Christmas memories, the gifts they're hoping to get this year, and if they're planning on making any New Year's resolutions. 

We caught up with heartthrobs Matt Cahill, Joe 'Connor' Conaboy, JJ Thompson and Josh Zaré to talk about all things festive and learned that one member is excited to get into the gym in 2015 while another singer's parents played a mean practical joke on him that left him thinking Santa wasn't real. 

What’s the one present you’re hoping to find under your Christmas tree this year?

Thompson: It's a very distant hope, and I know I won't be able to look after one. But I want a puppy. Soooooo badly! 
Connor: I'm hoping to find under my Christmas tree this year a car and world peace. 
Matt: One present would be the John Lewis penguin, but the real life one.
Josh: I want to find a magnifying glass under my tree to help Connor discover his facial hair.

What is your worst Christmas memory?

Thompson: The year I came downstairs to find my brother had sneaked downstairs and opened ALL of my Christmas pile. He was being naughty and wanted to open his own, but he opened all mine instead. Gutted. 
Connor: My worst Christmas memory is waking up late and finding out I'd missed 'The Grinch' on the TV. Wasn't happy.
Matt: Worst memory was my parents playing a prank saying santa didn't come.
Josh: My worst Xmas memory is spending 6hrs of the day on one game of Monopoly with my brothers... and still losing.

Will you make any New Year’s resolutions this year and if so, what will they be?

Thompson: I need to start the gym, I have my membership ready but with the amount I'm gonna eat over Christmas it's a losing battle to start now. So I will start in the new year... Maybe. 
Connor: New Year's resolution this year is to stick to my New Year’s resolution 'cause let's face it... who sticks to theirs?!! 
Matt: New Year’s res would be to go to as many gigs as possible.
