Her Memories /SK/
Although the members are relatively young, genres that have accompanied the music world for many years have become their heart. Their compositions are tuned in the style of blues rock, soul, and there are also harder rock songs. They sing exclusively in English, because, according to them, this genre explicitly demands it.
