Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!
You know, when I first saw this band on my feed, I was struck by how different they sounded from a lot of Gen Z bands out there. What really hooked me was the dynamic between their voices — that unique blend of male and female tones that just clicks.
It took a while for our schedules to finally line up, but it did. So now, me and everyone here at The Pod Network are so thrilled to have them with us today.
Fangirls and fanboys, Renzo and Sofia of Any Name’s Okay!
