“We all told each other that we re only going to move if we all moved up here together,” bassist Nate Martinez remembers. “It was like a family thing.”
So, Seerdan, Martinez and guitarist Hunter Puentes made the 400-mile move north to Denton together to find that there was a much bigger family waiting to accept them.
“It was a complete 180 moving up here,” Seerdan says. “We ve found a great support system. In the bands that we know, it s community over competition, which is really nice.”
It was in that community that the band found their drummer Chris Ortiz when the band’s original drummer left the group. Martinez reached out to Ortiz, who was set to play the same show with his band SsleddogsS, and he asked if Ortiz could fill in while the band looked for a new drummer.
