To play live I’d say “Worried”, my personal favourite “Deadlocked

Joe from Nothing Nowhere or Buddy Nielsen.

Hardest thing about being a band?

Being broke ahaha.

Interesting fact about one of your members?

I build sculptures and art pieces and sell them off Etsy, Cody collects bottle caps so bring him some rare ones to a show ahaha

“Give me a raise! I don’t wanna work today!” – song credit: Cody Reid Muraro

Key to writing a song?

Make it honest and as personal as possible.

Probably either Winnipeg to Barrie or Dallas to Phoenix Arizona.

Most inspiring musician you’ve experienced?

So far seeing Such Gold live, those dudes rip.

The Story So Far

Place you’d most like to tour?

Japan

Quote you’d like to pass on to our readers?

“Find what you love & let it kill you.”

Reason for the title of your recent/forthcoming release?

There’s a couple of songs on this record that ARE older and I wrote for myself during my teenage years and they sort of acted as letters/songs as the kid I’ve been while growing up.

See us live at?

Going on tour across the states with Can’t Swim, Homesafe & Save Face currently! Hit up a date if it’s near your city.

The old days of music were better than the current, do you agree?

Some things about it were better I’d agree but some elements about New Age music is great too.

Unusual merchandise?

Currently don’t have any unusual merch were selling but I always thought it would be sweet to build something handmade band related and sell them. Maybe one day.

We’d love to do acoustic versions soon of our singles, or even if someone did remixes of our stuff ahaha.

Everything to be quite honest. If you’re reading this and support us in anyway then just know we’re here because of all of you. Thank you.

Cody keeps breaking his tubes lately, does that count? Lol

Probably mine ha.

A sad, miniature horse.
