EP Title? I'm A Fool

How many releases do you have now? Just the one EP at the moment. Another is on its way!

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? There were a number of things; inspiration came from many places. Whether that was me mourning over someone I've lost, about some experiences busking or motivation even came from people who never believed in me. 

What's your favourite song on it? That's hard. I'd say Still Around means the most to me, but I'm A Fool really nails how I feel. 

We'll like this EP if we like... If you like listening to triple j, but also like a somewhat 'mainstream' sound from time to time. If you listen to Twenty One Pilots I think you'll like it.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 18 Mar, The Workers Club.
