Speaking about their new song, the band say: ''In some sense, this song it’s the most personal song we’ve written so far. And because of that, we wanted to play a little bit more with the song and take it to a new direction, reflecting the changes of the band itself.’’
Tell us three things about yourself...
Gabriel: Josh and I met through Bandmix, which is basically Tinder but for people looking for other musicians to play with. We initially started playing with other people, but then me and Josh decided that our music tastes aligned so well that we decided to start from scratch. As rehearsals got more constant, we have set our band space into Josh's shed.
