Definitely got more of a preference for something heavy nowadays but we’ll give any genre a go to be honest. jump in casey’s car and i promise you you’ll hear the most diverse playlist you can imagine. the geeza will play slipknot then David Guetta and not even bat an eyelid

Q7. Is there a story behind your name?

Everyone has felt like a lone cowboy strolling through the planes at one point or another right? i guess that’s what ranch represents. take from that what you will lol. we just dream of owning our own ranch one day. were we can all hang out and make more music, getting ready for tours. and our own ranch dressing.

Q10. What can fans expect from your new single ‘Satisfied’

Huge guitars, powerful drums and relatable lyrics. the trifecta.

Q11. What music artist would you say have influenced your work?

Musically I’d say specifically Deftones played a huge part. for anyone coming to see us play, I’d say we have all the attitude of oasis but with half the amount of shit haircuts

Q12. Who would you most like to collaborate with artistically?

Will yip, that dude knows how to mix a guitar , serj from SOAD just because it’d be weird

Q13. What was your worst performance?

To be fair we aim to stay pretty tight. when the time comes, we put the work in so it’s rare that things go wrong. couple stinkers here and there but we move.

Q14: What was the most difficult obstacle you have ever faced and how did you overcome it?

The most difficult obstacle we faced was division and a split in the band. there’s so many things that goes into being a band it’s not literally just playing. sometimes this puts pressure on even the strongest friendships. time to make a comeback.

Q15: What is your creative process when making music. Do you work with others or is there just you?

A song will usually come to me at random times or at least the idea for a tune. i might mess about with some chords for a while and as soon as it feels right then casey will come and lay a dirty groove on it. a pretty simple process really but it works for us. our songs are deceptively simplistic.
