Perseverance. That's what comes to mind when we think of how this track came together. We'd been playing around with it for several months under the working title 4Down but it never really came together... until one day, due to the mysteries of the ether, it did. As a track it's maybe a little darker than our usual style to this point, but its message is clear and poignant in these ever divisive times.

Our first single of 2026 is actually one of the first tracks we wrote as a band and has been a mainstay of our live performances since the very beginning. A fun somewhat tongue-in-cheek nod to eighties 'hair rock' we deliberately tried to include many of the tropes that made that period of music history 'special'; though the song's title and opening shout of "lightning" is an ode to a late seventies musical film set in 1950s America.

Our third single of 2025 and our first ballad. Courtesy of Kat's initial musical arrangement, Wasting My Time addresses the feeling of being lost in one's life, our search for meaning, and the realisation that the relationships we have with the ones we care the most about are what brings us the most meaning, while pointing out that those relationships help us to feel alive amongst the never ending struggles and hardships we face.

July 23, 2025: The second single from our (still then intended) debut album, featuring our friend Stephanie Pais on trumpet. The primary guitar riff was born as we battled with the format of another of our songs (The Escape), but immediately felt out of place so was siphoned for use in a new track. From there and after only a couple of play throughs, Fate was set, with the lyrics written to serve as a reminder that no one escapes mortality: an indirect threat and humbling truth wrapped in irony and grit that we all meet the same end. Instead of clinging to ego or hate, the song calls for perspective and grace.

June 06, 2025: A firm crowd favourite and the lead single from our (then intended) debut album, this high energy track with a fast samba-esque feel, aims to make you want to “wake up!” and get you out of your toxic and harmful thinking patterns (“I cannot keep on ruminating”). The song was one of the first we worked on as a band and built from the main riff originally cooked up and served to us by Mika on his acoustic guitar.

March 29, 2024: Our light-hearted critique on how contemporary society has come to exalt the relentless pressures of daily life and the constant need to adjust, all while pursuing perfection ("pushing for the ten") to ostensibly achieve 'success', often sacrificing our personal dreams in the process. The song originated from the first riff Adam played on his new Telecaster. Brett and Kat's lively groove propelled the track forward, laying the foundation for Mika to craft a melody that served as a counterpoint to the gang vocals of the chorus. Recorded and mixed by Colin at Sonic Studios in Durban, it's also important for us to recognise him for inspiring various elements of the arrangement and instrumentation.

July 12, 2023: Our debut self-produced single was recorded and mixed in our homes, serving as a demo to secure more live shows. 'War' was the first track written after Brett joined the band on drums but is built on a guitar riff that he had in his locker. It's a tribute to blues rock with a pumping rhythm section and lyrics that promise of dancefloor breakdowns amidst a call to fight against the fools of hate - our raison d'être. Performing this track live is always a highlight for us.
