Q: You are preparing a new record (the Wait). Where is it going to be placed lyrically? What are the main topics you are talking about in that release?

The fact we predominantly identify as rock artists is compelling us to expose any revolutionary truths in a poetic yet confrontational manner. The main topic we tend to be wiring about is the human condition and whatever that can mean each time. When for instance sex was a burning issue, as it has been a big taboo in the then-repressed puritanical USA and her more sophisticated cousin the UK back in the day; rock groups chose to adopt all that extravagant, eccentric, androgynous look in so many cases as a way to protest against that. We find that the most prominent problems of our age are social alienation, the complete and utter absence of emotional intelligence, lack of values, social dysfunction etc. We feel that art should bring these subjects forth, and be critical about those, and that’s what we feel we are here to do; starting conversations. It might sound simple and like stating the obvious, but we’re not here to reinvent the proverbial wheel or to come up with profound life-changing ideas; but then again it’s very hard for some to identify those issues, and others might feel they are the only ones who notice those, so art could serve a function for either group of people.
