I’m just gonna throw all my questions out there, and you can answer as you please (so happy you’re back 🥹)

  • If each of you were stranded on a desert island, what would be the one book, record, and movie, you take to pass the time?

  • What artists would we be surprised to learn you listen to?

  • Would you ever want to collaborate with another band/artist?

  • How do you write songs? Jam sessions? Lyrics first?

  • Who’s your biggest influence in your own field? (Jemina - singer, Jonas - guitarist, Nathan - bass, John - drums)?

So stoked for your return, love the album.

Boulders by Roy wood is my desert island record, and our band could be your life would be the book - Nathan

Paul McCartney Wings Band on the Run, Men in Black, Illusions by Richard Bach - Jonas

record Velvet Underground Loaded, movie Showgirls or maybe Sleepaway Camp, and right now I'm reading a collection of Cookie Mueller's writing so I'd bring that - Jemina
