Describe the writing and recording process
We usually will write about something that is on our mind and that inspires us. Our record label has its own amazing studio. Features a British mixing console, a Studer 24 track 2″ tape machine, great mics, etc, etc. Most of the time when we record, we focus on mainly getting a great drum and bass performance. Then we overdub guitars, vocals, etc, etc. Then we mix.
Any plans to release a video?
Any plans to hit the road?
We are planning to do 2 tours this summer. One in the states, the other in Europe.

As an indie artist, how do you brand yourself and your music to stand out from the rest of the artists out there?
There are a few things that make the band unique and stand out. First off is Adam’s voice. Adam has an amazing range and pitch. He can sing the soft stuff to high-end raspy screams! The music. We are an organic hard rock band. We write from the heart with passion and fire. Although the band ages are 18 to 25 many people say we have old rock n roll souls. Another thing that I think fans appreciate is that we are not trying to be anything we are not. We relate to our fans as peers. We are the same as you. We just love to create and play music.
Who have you been listening to lately?
So much stuff! Greta Van Fleet, Billie Eilish, Van Halen, Rush, ACDC, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, STP, etc etc.
Who are your biggest influences?
ACDC, Aerosmith, Led Zep, Van Halen, Rush
Tell us about your passions
Playing music and to make people happy and feel something. Of course, we would like to do this for the rest of our lives if possible.
What else is happening next in your world?
We are shooting a really cool video for a song we wrote called “Shining in the Moonlight”. The song is about so much drama and conspiracies that happened during the filming of Stanley Kubrick’s iconic masterpiece. This is going to be a concept/performance video.
