ABOUT

Toronto based duo who have been playing, writing, and performing together for 5 years (formerly as Little Wars). Looking to expand our line-up and take on more permanent members. Ideally looking for a six person line-up.

In terms of style, we're a solid balance between art music, pop, and indie/alternative rock. However, we are extremely open to collaborating and writing with new members as well as work shopping their songs to see what direction things go.

We're currently seeking a female vocalist (huge plus if you're also a multi-instrumentalist) and a drummer.
