         Aaron like to think that fans identify with their music because the lyrics “shine a light to awaken a part of their fans.” “There’s
         a tendency to demonize the bad and glorify the good, but they can’t exist without one another,” Brian stated.  Aaron agreed,


         “It’s part of finding a balance in the comforts of life but not creating an ego.” Brian credits his own personal growth to
         “someone wiser and kinder leading me to water”. Aaron agreed that part of life is doing that for someone else, whenever

         you’re presented with that opportunity.

         Gemini Syndrome certainly seems to have found a
         balance in their duality, not just in name alone, but
         in  the  way  that  they  live  their  lives.  Aaron  is  a
         trained  martial  artist,  which  has  influenced  his
         perspective -- which is rich in respect for others and
         being  aware  of  the  energy  you  put  out  to  the
         universe.

         Being a believer in energy work myself, I have to say
         it doesn’t surprise me that all these talented, like-
         minded,  musicians  found one  another.  “To  have
         Meegs in the band right now feels incredible. We
         came full circle,” Brian said, as Meegs walked over
         to us.  The band is returning to the studio this winter
         to record a new album entitled “Singularity.”
