Tell us a bit about your most recent release.

June 10 is the full album release for Heavy on the Cosmic. A labour of riffs, laughs, and grooves.

Where do you tend to pull inspiration from when writing?

Everything in life is a trip… experiences (physical and metaphysical) have been a source… as well as dirty Vans, muscle car culture, Sears catalogues, and fantasy art.

Do you have any upcoming shows or festivals you’d like to tell us about?

June 10th at Tail of the Junction in Toronto (our album release party).
July 9th at the Doors Pub and Metal Bar in Hamilton.
July 17th, the Queens, Barrie.

What’s your goal for 2022?

More shows, more new music, more connections, more Botox, and more Doomicorn! Also, thinking of entering a portal we found behind our garage.
