Rise is about breaking away from the constraints that hold you and finally becoming liberated and free. It begins, ‘You make the rules and I stand in line like a good girl… I pay you in full then you hold out your hand for more ’ guided by a tense web of guitar motifs. The song is a defiant dawning that enough is enough! The chorus is an upbeat charge forward, bolting out of the traps… It’s time to get away. Rise follows the successful debut by the band with ‘Liar Liar’, which Hot Press Magazine described as: ".. a culmination of vintage blues and classic rock with a modern edge, cementing the forceful duo as an act to watch." And RGM Magazine… "..a deliciously dark debut" It received play on Irish & UK stations RTE (Radio1, 2XM), Classic hits, Highland Radio, LMFM, Dublin City FM, KCLR, Belter UK etc and others.

“On the 4th of February 2022, a companion will set sail, and I will be alongside it because I dared to try. A bird will leave the branch on which it has rested for too long, and while the bough will eventually settle, the one in flight will not. The boat’s dock lines are about to be cast off. The bird is primed. And hope must prevail.”
