The Ghost of Future Perfect Continuous

2016 has been an interesting year! We made new friends, matured a little further, and started to better understand both ourselves and the world around us.

Being an independent act means we operate entirely on our own terms, but planning an album is considerably more challenging when you’re not funded to focus solely on music. On top of that, there’s the constant balancing act of maintaining relationships among band members, coordinating schedules, and carving out time for both the group and life itself. Releasing music is a heavy undertaking that only feels complete the moment it’s out in the world… and then it’s time to begin all over again.

We started our journey in a small city in Greece years ago. There was no real scene to support us: we were too soft for the metalheads, too aggressive for the rockers, too polished for the punks. English-language guitar rock did not have a huge audience there at the time, so we relocated to the motherland of post-punk about four years ago. That decision definitely contributed to the longer gaps between releases.

This year we’ve played some great shows, supported a few charities doing incredible work, released a sneak peek of an upcoming video, and gathered more material for our third full-length album. Recording it is going to be a real challenge, as both Damos and the Saint are serving their national service.

We’ve got a few releases lined up for the coming year, and don’t forget about the bracelets for World Vision! There’s something deeply fulfilling about improving someone’s life; and that is perhaps the most beautiful expression of capitalistic guilt.

A warm welcome to Konstantinos, Marco, and Dimitris! Huge thanks to our friends and families for their unwavering support and last but certainly not least, thank you for reading.

Happy New Year!
