Still alive
Hello! Just wanted to say that we´re still alive but not much is happening around here. We had an exiting gig at Sara Kulturhus in October 2021 and our song Wide Open Highway has passed 100 000 streams on Spotify which is amazing and the song is still heard on Radio P4-Västerbotten a year after the release. We have a few gigs planned for the summer and are recording some new songs as well so hopefully you will here more from us in a near future. Make sure to visit our Facebook or Instagram for more information! (links under contacts)
2020 starts off with a new release
