But I think I can safely say we are ready to take some stages by storm! We are extremely close friends, and limiting our social experiences to mostly seeing each other has been a great way to grow that closeness. Sean: It has provided plenty of time for us to find our blend of rock, that’s for sure. Despite the setbacks, we’ve been incredibly productive and the experiences have grown an inseparable bond between the four of us. We’ve been writing constantly, we recorded our first album, filmed our first music video, honed our sound and strengthened our live performances via live streaming.

However, we’ve utilized this last year to our full advantage.
Our very first show together was one day before everything shut down last March, so you can imagine we were pretty discouraged by that. Victoria: We were birthed out of COVID, so it’s honestly been the most influential thing we’ve had to deal with thus far.
How has COVID-19 influenced you as a band? Isaac has worked incredibly hard to become proficient in working as our engineer so that we can try to make the most honest, unfiltered version of our vision as possible, and that pursuit has defined our latest studio sessions. Sean Spencer (Bass/Synth): Our latest studio endeavors have been increasingly independent. Luckily our studio had a pool table which kept us busy in between takes – the wine helped too. As a drummer, the studio is intense because you have two hours of crazy pressure to get a couple tracks perfect and then about eight hours of no action at all while everyone does their overdubs and experiments with their parts.

For me it was the first time in a professional studio and it felt like it. We are a live band at heart so we wanted to try and capture the live energy on record I think we got pretty close. Tommy Moore (Drums): We did it the old school Beatles kind of way where the band gets in the studio and jams it out live and the engineer records it. Luckily, we have our own space and gear to track everything on our own and make song writing decisions in the later stages of production. Studio sessions, sometimes, can be very stressful because of the cost per hour.
Since we have an abundance of time, we are able to think more critically about our song structure, sonic space and instrumentation. Isaac Foltz (Vocals/Lead Guitar): Our studio process is becoming an extension of our writing process.

After recording and trying out a few different producers, we finally sent “Black Fur” to a London label, The Animal Farm, and they’re the ones that really helped us figure out how to make the song perfect. We were on a tight time crunch to get down ten songs it was challenging, but we’re very proud of the end product. Our release, “Black Fur”, was recorded in a professional studio along with the rest of the album that will be releasing in the fall, so it was a drastically different experience than what we have now. This has given us the freedom to expand on our sound and take our time while working through the production side of things. Victoria Backle (Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar): We’ve recently started recording at our lead guitarist, Isaac Foltz’s, home studio.
How was the recording process different from previous studio sessions in the past? A: You’ve been in the studio working on new material.
