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?
As soon as things came to a halt, we decided to start linking up and writing music and forming this current band. We would say the "pandemic" actually brought us together and gave us an opportunity to really hone in on the sound we began creating.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had absolutely nothing planned because we were formed during all of the madness. We began writing and meeting up to practice a couple times a week. We wrote our entire album between March - October and immediately began recording as soon as we had enough sounds to create a full length album.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
We literally have been working, writing, recording, and practicing none-stop. Nothing ever got in our way to create music. 2020 was definitely filled with lots of low points for people but again, it ended up being a weird blessing in disguise because it gave us a chance to get things together.
How are dealing with the Covid third wave?
The same way we deal with any situation that arises during this journey called, "life." We push through it and find all of the silver linings! We really believe your mentality is your reality - if you think everything is going downhill and constantly dwell in the negativity and regressive energy of life - you're only going to attract more of those kind of lessons and experiences.
So we make the best out of every situation that's handed to us and change our perspective on it. How can we figure out how this could be working for us vs. working against us.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
We actually haven't had one yet - but would love to hopefully manifest that situation once shows start back up.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Everything seems like it's all madness and chaos and that there's no hope - however, we firmly believe the old has to fall so the new can rise. Find the silver linings in every situation and never give up on your dreams and passions. Your life will fly by in a moment - realize everything happens for a reason and make the most out of the present - be here now.
