When Derek Miller and I started working together, we had a very clear vision for the sound of the band. It was one which combined our favorite musical elements: driving guitars, bombastic beats, and female vocals.

We love that our music makes people dance with complete abandon and feel empowered. It's very uninhibited music, and that's what makes it so fun.
