than half of 2018 and I wanted to do something BIG. We had a running joke while on tour in 2018 of ‘2019 100 Shows in 100 Days’ as a montre. No one believed we’d actually do it. By the end of the 100 Days Tour, we ended up playing a total of 101 shows in 92 days. Although we may never do 100 consecutive shows again, it is definitely our greatest accomplishment as a band so far. It proved what three ambitious punks from New Jersey are truly capable of in a van with a map and a dream. You are the epitome of a band Makin Waves with the aforementioned North American tour, European bookings and a growing national fan base also built by consistent and good releases. The pandemic sucks, especially for hard-working bands like you. What plans were impacted? Right on! That means a lot coming from you! This year we had planned to be on tour from August through November of 2020. We were going to do a U.S. tour of 49 states. Then we were going to fly to Eastern Europe, and close the year with a tour of the Southeast down to Fest, which is one of the largest independent music festivals in the country located in Gainesville, Fla. Due to the pandemic, all plans are on hold until further notice, sadly. Despite the pandemic, you’ve had success with your new EP. Please share those successes. Despite the pandemic, we were able to continue social distancing by having a virtual record release show at Spin Me Round Records’ store, which has been posted on dyingscene.com. The release show has over 4,000 views, and we have sold almost 100 records so far since it’s release on June 5. The 7-inch is available in five different colors, which you can order online.
