MJ: Lead vocals and bass
Alix: Vocals and keys

How would you classify your music?
We like to say our music is alt rock, but punk adjacent! We love catchy bass riffs and poppy keyboard lines but also big heavyish guitar!
Is there any inspiration for the band?
We’re very inspired by Metric, The Beaches, Garbage, and Wet Leg.
What are your plans for 2026?
We hope to put a couple more songs out in 2026 as well as continuing to play shows and connect with the community. We’ve applied for a number of festivals next year that we hope to play as well!
What would be your dream collaboration?
Honestly, we love writing and dreaming up big ideas together and can’t really think of anything we would rather do.
What’s your favorite anime?
Some of my personal favorites (Dee) are Ergo Proxy and Samurai Champloo.
What advice would you give new artists?
Definitely get out there and go to lots of shows and meet people. We came together via the internet and being active in the community, and some of our oldest closest friends were met through music.
Anything else you want the viewers to know?
That we are just getting started and have tons of stuff in the works so keep your eye on our social media! We also have a show coming up December 5 at the Aviary with some of our longtime friends Mt.Rotterdam and Katherine the Boneless, as well as our new friend Robin Hearts!
