The day was February 13 of 2016 when the four members of Viola Beach and the manager tragically were killed in a Sweden car crash. Devastating loss for the family, friends, fans and British music. Her’s and Viola Beach are both aspirant young musicians making something different to have fun, attaching many fans around the globe. However, it’s pretty sad when they couldn’t get the potential due to the unfortunate and terrible episodes that took their lives. The joy and youthful spirit have gone.

In three years, Her’s released two albums, one of them was the latest Invitation to Her’s. The English guitarist Stephen Fitzpatrick and the Norwegian bassist Audun Laading met themselves in Liverpool and decided to create a project consisting in a chill dream-pop with drums synthesizer, similar to Michael Seyer, Temporex, CASTLEBEAT, Vansire, and Banes World.

In a few years, you have made such a contribution to underground music. Rest in peace and God bless Stephen Fitzpatrick, Audun Laading, Trevor Engelbrektson.
