The Band Name Is A Call For Awareness. “We Chose Softcult Because This Band Is All About Social Commentary.” Says Mercedes. “A Soft Cult Could Be Anything From A Church A Government A Family A Band Even. It’s Anything That You Don’t Really Question Where You Follow Your Group Of People. We’re All In Soft Cults In Society That We Don’t Realize We’re A Part Of We’re Just Willing Participants Because It’s A Normalized Thing At This Point. It Can Sound A Little Harsh But It’s Also Meant To Make You Question Which Soft Cults Are You A Part Of.” The Siblings Were Also Members Of Courage My Love.

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Heaven

“We Wrote This Song About Overcoming Dysmorphia And Beginning To Feel More At Home In Your Own Skin. Often The Way Other People See Us Isn’t How We See Ourselves And It’s Hard To Live In A Body That Doesn’t Feel Like ‘you.’ But When You Feel Seen By The People In Your Circle It Makes All The Difference. This Song Describes A World Where Everyone Is Accepted For Who They Are Where One’s Background Or Identity Does Not Dictate How They Are Perceived By Society Where Privilege And Advantages Are Recognized And Shared To Build Stronger Communities And A Society That Celebrates Diversity Difference And Otherness As Strengths."
