"The first time I heard their music was at a live show. It was at that kind of small, hidden, local venue where everyone almost gives up trying to find. I remember feeling so happy about what I was hearing. This mellow, unique sound that will practically beg you to forget about your self-awareness just to be a part of it. If you would like for me to be more descriptive: the music was like a musing of electronic synth tones bringing fullness to swinging guitar riffs, a funky, steady bass, and consistent, yet poppy, drum beats that flooded the room." - Melody Petras
