An Interview

by Bethany


1)How do you feel about your first album?

Judita: I think it has a lot of charm but it's really not us anymore. They were the first 12 songs we wrote and we were just stoked to get them on a CD.

2)How about your second album?

Judita: We knew it would be awhile before we released another full length so we wanted to put something out that was a little more mature and showed everyone we could rock.

3)How have you grown spiritually between the first and second album?

Judita: Lyrically I've grown from the "girls vs. boys" themes to more introspective themes about my relationship with friends and with God.

4)What are some of your main influences, both musically and otherwise?

Judita: I love good lyrics and cool female vocals. Some of my favorite musicians are Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, Ricki Lee Jones, Mary Lou Lord. Some other favs (though cheesy lyrically) are Joan Jett, Heart and the Go Go's
