Together they have a way of running on the empathetic side of the sensitivity spectrum within their music. “We believe that the heart of our sound is in the individually melodic aspect of the parts coming together as one, which, if you zoom out, is what drives the spirit of a good band. The process of each song coming together is almost like drawing a circle- you can start anywhere and end up in the right place.”- Greenwald fervidly states.
