„This album is a piece into which we put all of our thoughts and ideas. Countless nights were spent for the sake of it and innumerable amount of coffee has been drunk. This is our musical dream that came true. We really hope that people who love music will enjoy our dream“, – said “The Roop” lead vocalist Vaidotas Valiukevičius.
According to band members, last few years were not only tense, but also very busy in regards to creativity and discovery.
„This was the time when we got to know each other and learned more that we had Learned previously in our lives. All these years were put into ten songs which we wanted to sound perfect“, – claimed „The Roop“.
The most active period for the band was last year throughout which the four guys from Vilnius not only finished the album, but also released 4 singles and made video for two of them.
