From playing at lounges to playing at music festivals, they’ve come a long way. Their taste in music is a systematic mess, from ambient acoustic music to heavy metal, and the music they make is a blend of everything, which you will surely concede after listening to some of it. The song speaks volumes about the condition of our society, of how the disgraceful acts of torture, misconduct and abuse take place every day and still go unnoticed or unreported because of the fear of humiliation.Not a lot of people actually talk about this but are we really delivering justice to the victims in time or are we delivering any justice at all?
