1.  How did you come up with your band name?

Myself  (Niki), Migi and Sergio (our previous frontman) had a junior high band  called The StoneHearts. We got the idea from a photograph on our music  room wall depicting a large rock in the shape of a heart. At the time it  was perfect for a couple of emo junior high kids, and when we merged  bands together to make our current ensemble, the name stuck.

2.  How would you describe your music to someone new?

Pop punk, Alternative Rock, with some catchy synth elements.

3.  What’s the story behind your latest song?

From  Migi : “Instrumentally, Step on me was a very experimental song for me  to write on guitar as it has very weird chord shapes and cool melodies  that I have not played before. I was heavily inspired by j rock bands  that utilizes those techniques. Lyrically, its about obsessively being  into someone to the point of wanting them to step on you, also about a  lesbian”

4.  What’s your favorite part about making music together?

It  is a truly unique feeling to be able to watch each other develop and  grow as musicians, especially in a time where we are all relatively new  to being in a band. The more we collaborate on our music the more we  find our sound and that is a wonderful experience to have with friends.

5.  What’s the best part of performing live?

Feeling  the sensation of loud, live music, both in a physical sense and in the  way that energy circulates among the band and throughout the audience.  There is always a kind of euphoria that comes with performing that is  further amplified when being able to experience that with friends and  bandmates.

7.  What are you working on next?

We  are working to record, mix and master our first 5 originals. Parallel  to this we have many new songs in the works but recording will be our  focus.
