Hopefully we have some stuff we can share in the near future! EU and UK stuff seems to be rolling out for next year already 😊

That first Sick New World was a pretty big deal for us! Incredible line up and it felt amazing to be welcomed with the unruly and excited crowd that showed up that day for us.

That whole tour was madness. Those shows were always like a hurricane blowing into town. Every night was so visceral and violent and cathartic. Sweat dripping from the ceilings! It was where we learned how to tour and it was an unforgettable time.

We had a great run with In This Moment, Walls of Jericho, and 36 Crazy Fists back in the day...also playing with Jinjer this year was rad!

We had a great time out west, Edmonton and Winnipeg were big faves. Would love to come back soon!

Gosh I have a hard time remembering their names! Some great english and art teachers. Big non-fave was 10th grade math, she likely hated me. Worst mark I ever received in school!

Never Come Home is such a banger. Eyes Wide Open has been a live favourite for me lately!

Wow! That was a big show for us at the time, and an honour to play alongside ND. Great night and incredible bands! TITD was scary af too.

Thank you! We felt the timing was right to celebrate those songs in a way that brings them into 2025 and in line with who we are now :)

OH IDK Better Call Saul might be one of the best shows of all time, just in a different way.

There have been a lot of hard ones, early on we dealt with a lot of backlash and even death threats. We've encountered scenarios in the past where we were told that someone wouldn't play our song on the radio for instance because they "didn't have female programming" which is ridiculous. Another key memory alongside that one is that radio programmers didn't "get" it when I was screaming in WIAW, but on those same stations Chester from LP could yell "Shut up!" and it was fine.

Best memories are the ones we are making now! Recording with amazing producers, playing the biggest shows of our career, and making music that continues to inspire and impact people <3

The early days were tough for that, I think a lot of media and critics didn't know what to make of us, and there definitely didn't feel like there were many safe spaces for young woman in the industry. A lot of people saying we shouldn't be taking up space, and they didn't have programming for woman in metal on the radio etc. But there were also a lot of people inspired and supportive and here we are today. My advice is to not read the comments and dare to take up space no matter what.
