Dying To Meet You perfectly captures the band’s apparent musicality, dynamism, energy, youth, and influences.

Roberto adds, “we base our roots and influences from musicians like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix, MGMT, Radiohead, among others. ”

When asked about the band, the members quip, “She’s Only Sixteen is a mix of rock, pop, dance, folk, ear-grabbing hooks, good taste, bad jokes, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, debauchery, kalandian, deep commentary on love and life, and a load of class.”

In an interview with Status Magazine, bassist Anjo described his group as, “we are all basically a bunch of kids having a good time – nothing more complicated than that.”
