THE OLD DAYS OF MUSIC WERE BETTER THAN THOSE CURRENT, DO YOU AGREE:
It depends, there are great qualities in songs in the past and songs today. We’re just happy to see people getting more into the experimental side of music again.

We have spherical lollipops with our logo inside. We’re also starting to make bath bombs in the shape of the vintage bomb in honor of our song Bombshell Baby.
VARIATIONS YOU’D LIKE TO DO ON ANY OF YOUR SONGS:
Our songs are strange enough on their own, but one of our past times is turning driving songs like Folsom Prison Blues, House of the Rising Sun, and Twisting the Night Away into haunting, pagan sounding songs.
WHAT DO YOUR FANS MEAN TO YOU:
They mean everything to us. Seeing them excited, jumping around, singing songs with us is really what drives us to keep going.
X-RAYS OR ANY TREATMENTS NEEDED FOR BAND RELATED INJURIES:
Luckily no x-rays or real injuries yet, but Britt does have a habit of dropping drums on her feet or shutting cymbal stands on her fingers.
YOU’RE LATE FOR A SHOW, WHO’S FAULT IS IT:
We’re never late. Usually, we’re way too early.
ZOO ANIMAL THAT BEST DESCRIBES THE PERSONALITY OF YOUR BAND:
The owl, we’re shy people during the day, really get it at night, and can turn our heads all the way around.
