Initially we booked in to record a demo, but we enjoyed the experience of recording with each other so much that we went back to recording a full 6 track EP.
This was an exciting time for the band as we were establishing ourselves as a band, both in the live and studio setting.
This one is just so we remember all the shit we did in Japan.
From Hokkaido to Nagano
Week 1 was wild.

Happy 16th birthday my beautiful baby. Somehow I’m still alive. Somehow I haven’t murdered you, or anyone.
Thank you for teaching me more than anyone ever could. I’m beyond proud of you and so grateful for all the time and adventures we’ve had together, and look forward to everything to come. I love you more than anything. Go forth my child, with style and grace. Be kind, be strong, be you. 👊❤️😘
