A. These are the first two tracks released from our forthcoming album, the title of which can be found in an opening lyric on the lead track ‘Edge of Space’. The two tracks are very different and a big step forward – yet, dare we say; appear to compliment each other well enough to be the initial release.

Q. If you could collaborate with one US Artists or Band who would it be?
A. Isn’t this one for the current so-called US authorities – and whoever they’re actually allowing through the so-called borders, of their so-called country these days?

A. Umm… if you like it and it’s not hurting, terribly – carry on.

 

Q. What quote or saying do you always stick by?
A. Try to live by our own, to be honest, but as life changes, well… Ok, one quote from a very wise person; “tell them nothing” …oh, that’s already been mentioned. Ha!
