The idea of recording their first album—which has become their dream this past year—is not a new one, but has only now blossomed into a real possibility because of the unwavering loyalty of everyone who has supported us artistically, stood by them and helped them see their musical project through: from their fans who never cease to amaze them, all the way to their families and friends who were the first to witness the seeds of this project when they were barely visible.

The Album

The first album aims to feature 7 songs with a playtime of 50 min approx scheduled to release in 2018. The songs have been drawn from the personal experience of band members, talking about, among other things -- social media obsession, feminism, challenges in the current music scene,  support for the queer community.
