It’s not just something to listen to; it’s something to sit with and reflect on. This time, it's less about loudness and more about the weight behind the lyrics. And for our track, Shark Bait, we wanted it to be more than a music video. It’s a reminder that creativity thrives when you’re having fun, and sometimes, the best art is the kind that bites back with a grin." adds the band.

With razor-sharp riffs and frontwoman Christina Kasper’s haunting vocals, "Shark Bait" explores emotional predators and the fight to stay afloat in a world full of teeth.
