Well the band started in 2014, as a stoner rock duo featuring our guitarist/singer Stephen Burdick, and our drummer Jeremiah Bertin. Our latest bassist joined in 2017, and then I hopped on board around 2019.
How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?
It’s basically Alternative mixed with Grunge, Stoner Rock, and some other nifty stuff. We have our major influences such as Alice and Chains, and Queens of the Stone Age. But individually we have a wide array of influences, ranging from Oasis, to Meshuggah, to Igor Stravinsky.
Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
Our music has always had a strong Stoner Rock influence, as well as Prog Metal, and all sorts of heavier stuff. There’s something in there for everybody, especially metalheads.
What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media?
We’ve had 4 full length releases, Poison Apple (2016), The Meadow (2017), Kevlar, Kryptonite, Gloria (2018), and our recent album: Ventura (2020). We also have a decent amount of other material out there, including singles, demos, and live albums. Generally, our material has been received very well by the public and media, and our fanbase has only been getting stronger!
Yes, we try to play live as often as possible. We’ve been gigging and touring since the beginning, and we try to play for as many new audiences as we can. Due to the current circumstance, performing live is obviously difficult, but we’re hoping to get back out there as soon as possible!
What should labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
This band is the bee’s knees. I know personally that people are interested in bees, as well as knees. So basically we got the whole package.
What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
Well we have a new full length album coming out in the very near future, and are basically trying to release as much content as possible during this period of time. We hope to get back on the road soon, and rock out with our socks out!
Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
You can find us on Spotify, BandCamp, Youtube, Instagram, Itunes, and basically all major streaming platforms. Our merch is available online at BandCamp. If you see us live, we also offer lots of physical merchandise, including some special rarities that are otherwise unavailable.
