Initially Elvis Costello Then To The Clash The Cure And So On ” Notes Christo. “All Of These Artists And Bands Had A Big Impact On Me At A Young Age As Far As Song Composition Goes. “ Influences Are Apparent On The Band’s Debut EP Transpose Where Angst-Ridden Riffs And Ethereal Yet Charismatic Vocals Pay Tribute To Post-Punk Legends Of The Early 80’s. “ I Started Writing My First Songs At That Time ” Christo Continues “Though We Can Now Reflect On That Era Of Music Those Artists Were Ahead Of Their Time In A Lot Of Ways. That’s What’s Most Inspiring.” Transpose Was Recorded In The Studio With Producer Eric Palmquist The Mars Volta Wavves Trash Talk And Serves As A Prelude To The Band’s Debut Full-Length Slated For 2014. “The Writing And Recording Process Is Always Exciting Because It’s Constantly Changing And Unique To Each Song.

We Jumped On A Video Call And I Played The Guys This Piece Of Music I’d Written The Day Before. I Was Really Missing Performing And Wanted Us To Create Something Which Channeled The Energy Of One Of Our Live Shows. We Wrote The Melodies And Lyrics And It Then Sat In Our Dropbox For Several Months Essentially Forgotten. Then In January Of 2021 As We Were Nearing The End Of Our Recording Process Our Producer Played The Demo And We All Looked At Each Other And Collectively Thought ‘This Is Amazing Why Haven’t We Recorded This?'”
