When the pandemic hit, the band's industrious spirit, and passion for their craft could not be brought down, “We played in different rooms, without being able to see each other,’ Josh reflects. “When we came back together in the same space, it felt like we had acquired magic powers of communication.” (-Quoted from artist's Press Kit)
