How would you describe your sound?

Dom: That is a tough question that I ask myself all the time. It’s a tough one because I’ve been

exposed to a lot of music over the course of my life, mainly by my parents. I found a love for

metal myself around the age of 16, and over the last 3 or so years I’ve really started to find my

sound as a guitarist/musician. Overall I’d say it’s a bit on the heavier side. I developed an itch for

darker sounding music when I heard Black Sabbath for the first time as a young kid but at the

same time I loved stuff like Devo and Queen with crazy synthy sounds and amazing melodies.

But since then I’ve been exposed to so much music, my roots are still there but have intertwined

with my love for various sub genres of metal. So I'd say personally my sound is more modern

but I love to try and incorporate heavier weird darker elements and catchier more melodic

elements in our songs. Mixing that with Luci’s writing creates this sort of heavy, melodic, thrashy,

poppy jumble of sounds. We’re really excited to get it out there.

​

What is the hardest part about being in a band/duo?

Dom: Right now, we are just in the middle of creating and building up our stock, and I’d say

we're having a really good time doing so. We are getting to the point where we want to

incorporate other musicians because we feel like we have established a sound and writing style

that we like. I think the hardest part for us as a band right now is just going to be finding the right

people for this group, and I think that’s probably a problem a lot of people have. We are looking

at becoming a 5-6 piece band, and that calls for 3-4 other musicians who not only have to be

there with us musically but also on a personal level for us to be successful. But, one of the main

reasons we are creating demos at this point is so we have something to show what we’re about

to new people, so while i’d say it’s the hardest part about our situation in the near future, it’s still

something we’re very much looking forward to.

​

If your grandmother wrote a review on your band/duo what would it most likely say?

Dom: If my grandma wrote a review on our music, it would definitely be pretty bittersweet. If it

was brutally honest it’d probably be something along the lines of “That was.. interesting Dominic

but jeez the screaming is just ear piercing, can’t you guys just stick to singing with your beautiful

voices?”

Luci: yeah it would probably be something like “that’s too loud, why is everyone screaming??”

​

How did the members meet?

Luci: i met dom through a friend of his like 4-5 years ago. i was at a guitar center and i started

jamming with this guy, and he asked if i wanted to join his band. i said yes, and the other

member was dom, so we kept in contact for a bit, and then eventually that band fell apart. early

2021 comes around, and i’m starting to write songs for this band, out of nowhere he texts me

asking if this is still my number and if i’m still working on music, and then we just went from

there. it felt like fate or something, i remember at the time it just being so surreal that he just

texted me out of nowhere right when i was trying to start this band. we had a few other

members as well, but right now we’re looking at it from the perspective that we’re coming back

from a long hiatus and trying to start fresh.

​

How do you deal with creative block as a band/duo? how do you continue to come up with new

sounds/ideas as a group?

Dom: I think all creators know that sometimes your creativity and spark sometimes comes and

goes in waves. That can be really frustrating for a lot of people, especially musicians. For us, we

really try to take advantage of those good creative waves we get and try to get down as much

content as quickly as possible while in that mindset. Doing that allows us to sorta just throw

those ideas in the stock pile, and gives us things to work on if we’re hitting a creative wall to try

and ignite a new spark. I feel like new sound ideas come sorta just from the head from both of

us so it’s really just a waiting game until the next one comes around. But we can always take

that time to improve current material and our playing abilities by practicing.

Luci: honestly for me, i just like to keep experimenting, and i try my best not to trap myself into

one specific sound or style. i think having an overall recognizable sound is good, but if that

sound can’t evolve with time or have elements added or stripped back, then you’re kind of just

trapping yourself artistically in my opinion. i’m constantly trying to do things that i haven’t done

before, which can both help with creative blocks, but also lead to them as well.

Whats been your favorite moment/biggest achievement as a band/duo so far?

Dom: So far, I think our biggest achievement is just getting our current group of songs together

and demo-d out. When Luci and I started working together again earlier this year, we told

ourselves we’d finish writing and recording 10 tracks to have ready for performances and to

show to possible new members, which we have nearly achieved in a timely manner and I am

very proud of that. We worked together a lot before our hiatus but reuniting and getting back to

creating with each other was maybe the biggest moment in itself. Starting fresh felt really good

and we are stoked for the road ahead of us.

​

Is there anything currently in the making? (songs, albums, tour, etc.)

Dom: While we’re always writing new music, we are in the phase of wrapping up our first group

of demos and getting to the making of our full lineup! Obviously this is a big part of getting out

there and playing live for us, and it’s essential that we do so. But I am really excited to see who

we find out there to join us. Once we have our full band, we’ll be able to play shows and record

our music professionally. A lot is in the making, can’t wait!
