How did you guys come together in the first place?
Our lead singer Sarah knew Kristian and Jemma from high school as they all studied music together. After she had graduated she met her vocal coach and mentor, Susie Ahern, who had introduced her sons Jack and Connor to Sarah when she shared her interest in forming a band. She brought together the four musicians hoping they could all share the bond of music and taking it in a serious direction. Since then they have been able to share the magic of music among each other and create a strong bond as a band.
You guys have been relentless, playing loads of shows. What benefit has this had to you as a band?
It’s given us the opportunity to grow in our stage presence and get an idea of the audience we attract. We have enjoyed every show we have done so far because no matter the outcome we always have a sick time. When live, it creates a magical sense that we only encounter among each other and the audience.
How would you describe your sound and how did you come to it?
Our sound is influenced by our individual music tastes. For example, we all enjoy and draw inspiration from upbeat melodic pop-punk, with Sarah’s additional taste of orchestral contemporary arrangements – that’s where we like to implement keys and synths as well as different layers of instruments, our musical worlds colliding together.
Tell us a little more about Reaper. What is the EP about and how did it come together?
Each song on the EP came on its own with its individual stories. The overall story of the EP describes a sense of emotional and mental distress influenced personally or by the people around us, but the story never ends negatively. There is always a positive light to look up to and an inspiring ending to ensure we can always overcome the negatives. Every band member has their own say in the way our songs are created.
