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 all at home just putting the finishing touches on our European and Canadian tour.

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

We had a 3 month European and Canadian tour planned that we hadn't gotten a chance to announce yet. We were going to play in multiple countries in the UK, Central and Eastern Europe and had to cancel with no refund.

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

We have been hard at work writing new music, passing ideas back and forth online. Lots of practicing our instruments and trying to be as productive as possible while at the same time enjoying some much-needed time off.

Favourite quarantine meal?

Stir Fry or Pasta

Favourite Starlite Room Moment?

Shredmonton

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

As much as this all sucks, we're all in it together. Rather than be negative and down about the whole thing try and work on your hobbies or even find new ones. This is a time of much needed rest for us all and we most likely won't have this much free time ever again, so write a song, paint a picture or learn a new skill!
