“Are we still alive? is a question we’ve regularly asked ourselves about the band’s situation over the last three years. Between the two years of the COVID crisis that prevented us from seeing each other, rehearsing and playing live, the line- up changes and certain life changes for some of the band members that have impacted the way we work, compose and record, we’ve spent a lot of time hanging on and finding solutions to keep going.
We’re proud to be here and to be releasing this new EP. Of course, the various themes addressed by the songs on this EP are also consistent with this question…” – says the band.
