What inspired you to start a band?
We’ve all grown up with musical backgrounds. Attending gigs was fuel for our aspirations to be in bands but it was all about meeting the right people to jam with, we met at university and continued from there.
What's your favourite part of performing live?
It’s expressive, we don’t have to make eye contact with anyone or even talk that much. The room feels warm and you feel each other's nervous adrenaline rushing off one another, a privilege we can’t wait to experience again.
Tell us about your latest release.
Our single 'No Heaven' was released a year ago, it’s the first song I (Emily) have fronted on and our first label release, people seem to really like the bassline even though it’s like 3 notes and I wrote most of the track around it in less than half an hour. I like playing this one live.
What do you have coming up?
It’s all mystère at the moment. Catch us playing some shows for a glimpse into what's to come.
