DNA: When you guys were picking a band name, was there nothing more glamorous than Peking Duk on the menu?
Reuben Styles: We actually never sat around thinking about it. We used to party quite a lot and when someone was peaking super hard [on drugs] they would be “peaking duck” going semi bung-eyed with pursed lips, as in “Look at Dave, he is absolute peaking duck right now!” Anyway, by the time we had a song ready to put on iTunes we thought, yep, Peking Duk will do for now, and then we never changed it.
