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 just finishing up writing new tracks to be used for our next project as we had just finished recording our upcoming single release. The last time we were all together was in the studio working and jamming on a new song that was starting to come together.

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

We had lots of shows across Ontario canceled as well as cancelling studio sessions to complete some songs that are now going unreleased. Our EP has been shortened to a 2-track single, which we have had to edit and master and do all of our promo work remotely.

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

All of us have been studying and practicing our instruments as much as possible. We have been conducting weekly zoom meetings to keep in touch with everyone and share what we've been writing and working on as well as what we're all listening to. And a lot of Sopranos. Shout out Bobby Bacala!

Favourite quarantine meal?

Can't really say we have one favourite meal, but I, Cole, have been experimenting with a roasted vegetable salad with cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, balsamic glaze, tahini, lemon juice and pomegranate seeds. It's damn good!

Favourite Starlite Room Moment?

Never been! hope to come by ASAP

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

Stay positive and open minded! we are living through arguably one of the worst periods of earth's history, but if we can keep ourselves educated and open to listening to what our neighbours are telling and asking of us, we will all be able to come out of this period smarter, stronger, healthier and united. Now is the time to learn how to stay healthy in a pandemic and how to empower BIPOC communities around the world. We will all get through this and become better for it.
