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?
Jamming to get ready for an opening slot with Strung Out and Death By Stereo. Then we luckily had some down time to record our new album.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
So far we've only had a couple shows bail on us... one being Pouzza Fest in Montreal, so it's a total bummer. We do have a few dates for a mini tour with ATD from Vancouver at the beginning of July. (Fingers Crossed it'll still happen).
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
We've been really focused on our new album. Hopefully the lack of other life distractions will translate into greatness on these new songs.
Favourite quarantine meal?
Way too much Spaghetti.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
We played this killer show with 88 Fingers Louie and there was this super tough guy in the pit. He was crushing the vibe, so instead of telling him to get lost, we just brought him on stage to sing backup vocals... allowing everyone else to really go for it. I thought he was gonna kick our asses, but he turned out to be all kinds of cool.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
If you're reading this, you're already awesome. So keep your chin up and find some interesting interests... and maybe buy some merch from us.
