The band has conceived and named their own genre and they call it
‘Soul-Rock’. With her vocal prowess and phrasing ability, on stage vocalist
Caroline Bonnet has roused and excited even the most jaded of the Norwegian
music industry’s observer. “They are different, distinctive and rather
mesmerizing. They are bursting with a collective personality. All of what
they do is delivered by a band that obviously doesn’t care one bit about
being conventional and is going their own way without compromise.” Rune
