Interview highlights:
Singer and keyboardist Cara Yañez on Get Along's multifaceted sound:
"We take it song by song when we are songwriting. Some songs end up being dance-ier. Some songs are punky. We have a song where I just play tambourine and he plays drums. ... We don't write in one certain genre so it's hard to call ourselves one certain genre."
Drummer and keyboardist Nicholas Yañez on the band's forthcoming record:
"The EP is just about life. And a certain time of life when you try to turn yourself into what you feel you were made to be. A better version of yourself."
Songs performed:
- "D.N.A."
- "Spatium Invasores"
- "Death of A Spirit Animal"
- "Exodus"
