WE SUBMITTED TO THE INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS BECAUSE: The IMA’s are a great way for independent artists to gain a lot of exposure and they’re all about the music, which is really refreshing.

WE’RE PROUD TO BE INDEPENDENT ARTISTS BECAUSE: Our careers are completely in our hands, our music is 100% ours and that feels really good!

SUCCESS = Supporting ourselves with our music.

WHAT MAKES OUR BAND STAND OUT: Our honest approach to songwriting and performance.
