It is a lighthouse in the storm, a beacon of strength in solitude, a testament to honesty – to both oneself and the world.

Drawing upon the influential cadences of rock and roll, the triple threat of Kath Edmonds – on vocals and guitar, Tony Harrison – on bass, and Matt Larkin – on drums, fuse together to form a trifecta of energy and power that is palpable even through audio alone. Vocally, Edmonds channels an electrifying blend of melodic precision and raw passion akin to the likes of Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks.

The song hammers home a message of inner power and resilience, propelling the listener on a cosmic rock and roll journey to the icy frontier of their self-awareness. It’s a powerful mantra for misfits, vagabonds, and space cadets alike.

What’s compelling about this ensemble is their unique take on the alternative rock genre. Between angst and introspection, the band cleverly interlaces energetic drum patterns, resonating basslines, and gritty guitar riffs. This harmonic synergy crafts a rocky soundscape that is both robust and poignant. Each instrument serves as a pillar, holding firm the structure of the track, the result being an explosion of melodies and rhythms that catapult the listener into a vortex of feeling and overwhelming vibes.
