We all relate to the same things or struggles at different times.

What are some of your dream venues, festivals, and colabs?
BRKLYN: One of our dream festivals is for sure Coachella. Since we were in high school it’s always been a dream to play there. It’s iconic and a milestone for anyone to play. We made a promise to each other that we wouldn’t attend the festival until we were playing on the lineup.
Are there any particular tracks on the EP that hold a special meaning or connection?
