Releases


Tattooed Siren

An upbeat, guitar-driven rocker that captures the ‘hurricane’ of instant attraction. From ‘Crimson lips’ to the ‘Tattooed siren’ imagery, the lyrics fly by as fast as the tempo. It’s fun, a little bit frantic, and features a final-chorus payoff that ends on a high octane chant ‘Dah Dah Dah’ that will stick in your head long after the first listen.


Who Am I?

A dark, emotionally raw track that explores addiction through the voice of the addiction itself — seductive, manipulative, and impossible to escape. The lyrics personify dependency as an old friend you both love and hate, promising paradise while quietly leading you down a one-way road. Sonically, the song blends gritty guitar textures, dynamic builds, and a haunting vocal delivery that moves between vulnerability and intensity, capturing the internal war between control and surrender.


break seven in

Drifting between staying and letting go, this track lives in that fragile space where doubt, growth, and quiet resilience collide. It’s for late-night overthinkers, for anyone who’s ever felt lost but kept moving anyway, holding on while searching for release, breaking patterns while chasing something new. It’s both heavy and hopeful, raw yet reflective.


Time waits for no man

Rooted in the raw, brooding spirit of Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Nirvana. Driven by gritty guitars and powerful vocals, the song confronts the relentless passage of time, missed chances, burning ambition and the choice to move forward before life slips by. It’s a call to live life loud, own your path and refuse to stand still.


In This Moment

A cinematic, slow-burning track about love that felt endless—until it didn’t. This song captures the ache of memories that won’t fade, where every place, every moment echoes someone you can’t quite let go of. Where truth cuts through illusion and leaves you suspended in something both beautiful and painful.


lost and Found

Our first most popular release,. It’s a late-night indie anthem about getting lost in familiar places and unexpectedly finding someone who changes everything. This track captures that moment when connection feels real… but uncertain where love feels meaningful to one, but perhaps just a game to the other.
