The band, which formed in 2014, has opened for the likes of Tesla, Lita Ford, Winger, Quiet Riot.
In the interview, Sammy Lee discusses the band’s latest single “Don’t Look Back,” writing music during COVID, mental health, and using the double-kick bass drum for music.

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
