Origin

Back in 2019 Jeroen and Danilo met on a musician website and hooked up. Drummer David soon completed the trio and they were ready to rock. They recorded their first EP in June 2020. But then suddenly (like many things in 2021) it was all about to end! Jeroen left the band! Could this be the end? The foundation was still there, so the search for new musicians began. It didn’t take long before new lead singer Menno joined the band. All they need now is a bass player. Well, David knew a guy he used to play with back in the days. Well, it's worth a shot... Eventually Claudio left his band and became the new bass player, and thus a power trio became a quartet and were ready to rock again. 

Mind Your Dutch update... :-)
