Julia continues to explain further “I think when it came, when it came to, like, also making shake, we kind of like, brought there were so many. I mean, a huge reference for shake and for all of us as teenagers. When we started, the band was like Black Sabbath, you know, like there's like a lot of, like a lot of sweetness in our taste....
There was like, a heaviness that brought us together and also, yeah, it was like a unifying point at the beginning. And now, like, at this juncture, it's still a unifying point because we just really love to, like, play together and rock out together and wanted to make something on record that we could do that was live.”
