With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt? 

We were in the middle of planning some upcoming Tours and booking flights etc.

How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?

We were set for a Western Canadian tour with The Corps (Vancouver) in June and then a lot of Alberta shows on our own. Our European tour with Belvedere and Chaser which included Brak Rock in Belgium and Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia has also been postponed until 2021. Bummer but stoked we will still be there next year.

What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?

Our drummer Lyndon made an amazing video for the band made with action figures of all of us. We have also been recording some demos for a Future release in our virtual studio where we can share everyone’s parts online. So far we are super stoked on those!

Favourite quarantine meal?

Pizza and beer.

Favourite Starlite Room Moment?

Opening for Good Riddance back in the day.

Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?

Yeah...this isn’t going to last forever. Live music will only be more appreciated when this is done!
