What Vic thinks about:

Luce:
She has a unique voice; stylistically, it could be compared to Mick Jagger, David Bowie, or even Freddie Mercury. Her voice is nothing like the usual radio voices you only briefly notice when you’re not paying attention to the road while driving.
She knows exactly what she wants and where she’s going.
And the clothes she wears are also awesome… sometimes I get a bit jealous.

Vitz:
He’s a god on the guitar. Besides the cover songs he effortlessly pulls out of his sleeve, he just writes new riffs that make our band what it is. F*cking rock ’n‘ roll.
I’m always a bit amazed when I hear him play that I get to be his drummer.
He’s just earworm material.

Don:
Harris usually sits or stands in the corner, observing everything calmly, but when he finally speaks up, you can’t help but laugh.
Despite all that, I get along really well with Don; he’s a true friend.
In my eyes, we have the perfect bass + drums connection to keep this band in groove and on beat.
