Q12. What is your process of creating a Song?
A12. Our process is that me or Eric write down some rough lyrics. Then a simple riff is made from that and we create lyrics and guitar back and forth until we have a song. Then drums and bass are added soon after.
Q13. What keeps you going?

Q14. If you could meet anyone in the music industry who would it be?

Q15. What would you say to them?
