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 here in Edmonton and had just finished recording a new song out at Royal Studio.

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

Luckily, we were able to release a new EP at the end of October and played some shows in support of that EP before everything stopped. We didn't have any more immediate shows planned but we were gearing up for the summer festival season.

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

We've been writing a lot of new music for the last couple of months. We are hoping we can get back into the studio soon to continue work on another release. Zack is also working on a project for the EP we released back in the fall and we are brainstorming some ideas for a music video for the song we recorded right before the quarantine.

Also, everyone has been playing a lot of video games.

Favourite quarantine meal?

Zack - Bacon and Eggs
Jess - Steak
Trevor - Butter Chicken
Travis - Pizza

Favourite Starlite Room Moment?

We actually just played our first show at the Starlite Room in October opening up for Current Swell on Halloween! It was surreal to get to play on the same stage that we've seen a lot of our favourite bands play on over the years.

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

Keep connected with your pals, we'll get through this and be back together soon! Stay safe and healthy!
