"  The ongoing romance between music and fashion continues with the formation of ASOS&amp;#039;s new outfit, appropriately dubbed the House Band. The group\u2014comprised of Jonny Langer and Pete Duffy (who just go by their first names)\u2014is known for their kitschy jams, such as &amp;quot;Frock Off&amp;quot; (a fashion face-off) or &amp;quot;Found a Pound&amp;quot; (which is in reference to discovering loose change in the back of a couch). Today, we&amp;#039;re pumped to not only reveal how this partnership came together (spoiler: they compared it to finding a Tinder match) but also the debut of their newest hit, &amp;quot;Me, My Girl and Ryan (Gosling).&amp;quot; The ode to the dreamy actor includes lyrics like &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s right there when we&amp;#039;re out there driving, like in Drive, there when we&amp;#039;re kissing in the rain, like The Notebook.&amp;quot; Watch it, below! How did you link up with ASOS?  Jonny: It was actually quite straight forward, ASOS came knocking, we turned down the music, opened the door, and things progressed quickly from there\u2014like a real life version of Tinder, but with a successful musical collaboration instead of awkward dates. How did your band form?  Jonny: We&amp;#039;d love to tell you that the House Band formed as we reclined in some rich leather armchairs. But that would be nonsense. We&amp;#039;ve been making sweet music together for a few years. So when the offer of white suits and frilled loafers came along, it felt like a naturally epic progression that was too good to miss.  Describe your musical sound and influences?  Pete: It may sound clich\u00E9d but our influences come from everywhere. Check out some of our other tracks like &amp;quot;Monsieur Snooze Button&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;LOLROFLOMFGLMFAO,&amp;quot; both are inspired by everyday problems\u2014namely, not wanting to get up in the morning. However, you might be surprised to know, on account of the subtle themes, that one of the main influences for &amp;quot;Me, My Girl and Ryan&amp;quot; was in fact, Ryan Gosling.  Which current musicians would you compare your fashion sense to and why?  Jonny: Let&amp;#039;s be honest, there&amp;#039;s no one else out there that wears it quite like us. People have come close\u2013Prince, [Lady] Gaga, and most K-pop bands spring to mind\u2014but we&amp;#039;re pretty unique. &amp;quot;Icons&amp;quot; is perhaps too strong a word, but it&amp;#039;s damn close. Let&amp;#039;s talk about the Ryan Gosling song. What inspired it? A real-life instance? Are you huge Gosling fans?  Pete: Many real-life instances influenced this song, mostly the times that girlfriends past and present have chosen to drag us along to R-Gos movie nights. Rihanna sang a song about an umbrella, for goodness sake, so there was more than enough source material for us to write a song about Ryan Gosling.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
