It all started as a garage band using GarageBand. Since their teenage years, Bryce Savage and Cameron Wales have made music with the intent of providing the feeling once felt when they first heard their favorite artists. It’s a passion which has translated into 1.5 Billion streams under their collective group name of NEFFEX.

I wrote “The Ridge” to contemplate what life was like back in my grandparents’ day and what life is like now. My grandfather was Mohawk and my step-grandmother cared for me like her own. She was quite brave to take that on because there was a lot of prejudice back then, which still exists today.

Conway Drops New Album ‘Something Wicked’
On the theme of Something Wicked, vocalist Aidan Hargis explains, “The album is mostly about uncertainty, and the anxiety that comes with that. Uncertainty about life, yourself, love, paying the rent…you name it. The album is us trying to deal with that uncertainty in various ways, some much more helpful or damaging than others. It’s not entirely negative. There are some high points in the record, like there are in reality, but there’s rarely a sense that you know what’s coming or you know how you’re going to deal with it. With all the wild stuff that’s gone on in the year 2020, I think it’s a pretty apt theme.”
