What band did you discover in 2025 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
I found, met, and toured with a pioneering Detroit protopunk band called Death. We toured Kenya with them for 10 days. That was a good learning and life-changing experience.
How will you remember 2025 (in terms of music)?
Musically, 2025 introduced us to many bands on the road. We toured both Kenya and the UK and played with a bunch of bands from around the world. It's been really beautiful. We were also featured in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 & 4 video games. There's been a lot of adventures, for sure.
What can we look forward to from you in 2026?
Well, we just released a mini album so we will shoot a couple more music videos. Get our butts on the road and play as many shows as we possibly can. We can also get on a few tours outside South Africa. Definitely working on some new music too. Guaranteed.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2026?
In 2026, I am looking forward to watching the season finale of The Boys, hopefully a new season of Captain Fall, and One Piece.
Musically... I will see as I go.
Singles rule the music scene right now. How has that affected you as a band or label? Has it influenced your approach to new releases or touring?
Honestly, the only things that determine our releases are rehearsal and studio time. You'll never run out of stories living in Soweto. The work begins when you have to turn those experiences into art. That takes time and resources, but yeah, there's a lot we have in store for our listeners.
