Stare Down the Sun

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting in the back of my dad’s car as a kid, mouthing the words to classic rock tapes, forehead pressed to the window — that’s when I first felt what music could do. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Billy Joel, The Stranger (Remastered) Cold, 13 Ways to Bleed Onstage Deftones, Around the Fur These albums shaped me in completely different ways — The Stranger taught me how to tell a story, Around the Fur showed me how to channel raw emotion, and 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage gave me permission to be both heavy and vulnerable. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Sores” It’s the first song we ever wrote. Before we even knew we were a band. After this tune the rest sort of wrote itself.
