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?
Blair and Matt are still located in Edmonton, Joe is on his Farm just outside of Drumheller area and Jerome is located in the Vancouver/Burnaby area.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Well for Audio this hasn't really changed too much as we have decided to slow things down a bit as Blair and Joe are now proud dads and are focused on their families currently. But in light of things to come we are wanting to put out another record in the near future. We are no strangers to using google drives and dropbox for sending new tunes ideas to each other to try and write since a couple of us have moved away from Edmonton. The new record has no current timeline to when it will be completed.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
From Jerome - Finishing my online schooling, video gaming and balcony gardening.
From Blair - Taking care of my son, playing lego and listening to records.
From Joe - Home renos, raising chickens and loving on my one-year old daughter.
