Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fall in love with music for the first time? Join us on this nostalgic journey as we share our earliest and most impactful musical memories, from the sacred hymns of our religious upbringing to the electrifying sounds of our first concerts. We'll reminisce about the 80s hair bands and reflect on how these formative experiences propelled us from avid listeners to aspiring musicians, driven by the deep emotional and spiritual connections we formed with our favorite tunes.

As teenagers, we faced the thrilling yet terrifying transition from church music to the raw, rebellious energy of bands like Korn, Slipknot, and Marilyn Manson. Through late-night sleepovers, church outings, and the influential guidance of older peers, we developed a broader appreciation for hardcore and politically charged music. This chapter of our lives highlights the tension between exploring taboo art forms and the spiritual fears instilled by our strict church backgrounds, painting a vivid picture of our evolving musical tastes.

Music's powerful influence on family bonds can't be overstated. We'll share heartwarming anecdotes of how our mothers' varied musical preferences, from Elvis to bluegrass, shaped our paths. We'll relive the adrenaline rush of our first talent shows and concerts, from Rick Springfield to Avenged Sevenfold, and the pivotal moments that solidified our passion for music.
