What are your top five albums that were released in 2021? (In order 1-5)

  1. Seeyouspacecowboy - The Romance of Affliction 
  2. Meet Me @ The Altar - Model Citizen
  3. Every Time I Die - Radical
  4. Rematch - UWU
  5. One Step Closer - This Place You Know

What band did you discover in 2021 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?

There is a really cool band from NY called Koyo. We have been seeing how awesome their live performances are and how hard they are grinding. We definitely want to play with them and emulate their work ethic.

How will you remember 2021? (In terms of music)

In terms of music, this year has really been poignant for us in regards to rebranding and agreeing on a new direction. We changed our band name, our approach to songwriting, and we have lots of new material we cannot wait to share with the scene.

What can we look forward to from you in 2022?

We are super jazzed about next year! We really hope to be on the road touring as much as possible, and we have new music to release.

What records are you looking forward to most in 2022?

We hope The Story So Far comes out with a new record, that would be super rad. Many of us are looking forward to the new Simple Plan record, and we believe that Inclination might be releasing something, we hope so! We also have our record coming out! 

What went through your head the first time you played live in 2021 after the delay? (If you haven’t -- what do you anticipate when you hit that point?)

We are actually playing for the first time this Sunday, December 5, in New Jersey at the Northside Lounge in Manville, NJ. We are really looking forward to playing with a lot of our friends!
