I would sum up KIRRA as an alternative metal/hard rock band that tries to always push and break new ground, as far as our sound goes. We just love playing music, touring, and meeting new fans all over the country!

For me personally, i would say either touring with Nothing More back in 2018 or touring with SEVENDUST/TREMONTI back in the spring of 2019. Both of those camps were really inspiring to watch, not just the band but the crew and how everyone came together to make those shows happen. Plus, everyone was so genuine and nice that it was just an overall amazing experience to be apart of.

Well we all took the news pretty hard. After the funeral we had a meeting as to whether or not we should continue, and we decided that it was the right thing to do to persevere on. It was the right thing to do for ourselves but we all felt Jesse would have agreed. We had little time to get ready for the tour. Jesse passed away on January 17th and we had to leave for tour on the 1st of February.

We had about 4 or 5 auditions with what we felt were some of the top singers in our area. We took 2 auditions from Dallas, Texas and that's where we found our replacement singer for that tour, Vincent. We had maybe 3 or 4 rehearsals that went pretty well and then we hit the road on one of, if not still, the biggest tour we've been on to date. Looking back we were a little upset that we weren't able to perform at the level we were used to, considering Vincent was still learning the songs on tour and we'd have lots of nights where lyrics and timing were just not working out on certain songs.

Eclipse came to us after hearing some of the first couple singles we released with our current singer, Gabriel, "Sixteen Suns" & "Decider". After that we had lots of conference call meetings, and after talking with Chris and refining the terms we thought it would be a great partnership and so far it's been exactly that, so we're really grateful to be working with Eclipse.

We're really hoping to play some shows all over Canada and Europe in the near future. Since we've released these most recent singles "Caving In", "Free", & "Passageway" we've seen a pretty big rise in listeners from those two locations so we'd love to play there!

Mental health is a huge issue, especially with the rise of the accessibility of social media to younger people. Also, lots of bands have been writing songs on the subject matter, and I think that's great. Where there is an issue is when the conversation starts to get circular and we start hearing the same things over and over again when we need to progress the conversation along. So with songs like "I Didn't Know" we tried to add something to the conversation on mental health that we haven't seen very much or at all, and lay out the dichotomy of a situation where someone is struggling with mental health issues.

We started writing the new songs pretty soon after Gabe joined the band in April of 2018. All-in-all the record took about 9 months to write, record, & mix/master the record.

That was our very first national tour and we learned so much from touring with those guys. We've since played a handful of tours with them and some of shows here and there when they swing by OKC. It definitely reset whatever expectations we had going into the tour, since we hadn't toured with a big name band before we really didn't know what we were getting into.

Well we had planned on releasing the EP, but when Jesse passed it sort of turned into a memoriam. It was emotional because we had all worked really hard on those songs at that point and we were really excited to share that music with everyone, however since Jesse wasn't there to enjoy that, it made it pretty tough.

That's a difficult one, I would have to say for me, I love playing "Blind". That song just has a groove that when it's played live it just gets me moving, and when I see the audience feel that too it makes it a great song to perform.

After we release the album we hope to have at least one national tour planned so we can promote it, and we also have some little fun side projects that we plan to release between this album "Redefine" and the next one (which we have already started writing for), but it's in the early stages so I'll unfortunately have to save the rest of that until a later date.

Thank you so much, Jojo it was a pleasure! Thanks for having us on, hopefully we can do it again!
