Q: What impact did your debut have, in local and worldwide level?

We are really satisfied by the response. Financially things are hard even for the bigger acts so we don’t even going to elaborate on that matter.

When it comes to Greece, we’d prefer for things to have been a bit different . There is no sense of scene, and there’s high propensity for bands to unhealthily and maliciously compete with each other as if music lovers can only like one band at a time! There’s a tendency for aspiring rockstars to fiercely fight for their unsubstantiated prestige to shine, and they put unusual effort in burrying anything worthwile from fear of having their own egos marginalized.

These people are the equivalent of the phenomenon of instamodels for the ladies.  It’s really sad, but it’s a sign of the times we live in. Aside from experiencing the generation of princes and princesses, shaped by their parent’s repressed desires, this hing  is also a byproduct of the financial (and moral) crisis. This behaviour is no different that the one of those girls that want to escape Siberia and focus on their appearance as it can be the only social currency they can have. If buying and learning how to play an instrument or  recording an album were as difficult as it was in the 80s or 90s, 90% of the bands (that disband after an ‘EP’ anyway) wouod bever had started. That’s were were at.

Elsewhere, we are blessed to enjoy some popularity in the Near East, central Europe, Latin America, and the Balkans, whilst people here (UK) seem to have a great interest in our music as well which is very encouraging given that it’s where the idiom spawned and flourished.
