Where are you currently based?
Perth, Western Australia.
How did the band form?
We formed our if our old hardcore band “Common Bond” in 2017. We made the choice to move from hardcore which was a genre that we felt comfortable in and had grown up listening to into alt rock/ heavy rock so that we could really challenge ourselves and expand our creativity.
Your latest single ‘Sunlight’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
Sunlight is a song that we have been playing around with for a few years now. We had always loved the song but just couldn’t really find a release that it would fit into as it was a much different vibe from our other songs. We decided that now was as good of a time ever to release a track we thought to have a big “optimistic” and positive feeling about it. The song for us just is a nice track to put on and day dream.
How did you go about writing Sunlight?
We just told ourselves that we wanted to write a song that was fun to play and reminded ourselves to keep it light, keep it simple and see what we can come up with.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
Cody Brooks – Engineering
Shane Edwards – Mix/Mastering
How did you approach the recording process?
We had a fantastic time tracking our last release with Cody Brooks and Shane Edwards so we decided that they would be the perfect combo to help us turn this track into something special. This was definitely one of the most stress free recording process we have ever had by far which was a real treat for us and made the process even more enjoyable.

July 2nd at Amplifier in Perth.
July 14th at The Zoo in Brisbane.
