The Paddles’ song “Blueberry Days” released last year quickly gained attention for its fast-paced sound, catchy melody, and empathetic lyrics. We are a live band that has performed with allies such as ammo, Shytope, and Blue Mash, and is in demand at festivals and events!

People who like club music and game music should listen to this first. This is the first nationally distributed edition, and this level of perfection. You’ll fall in love with the unique heavy groove that only these twins can create. They have never worked together before, so you can feel the differences in their sensibilities, and there are also some parts that are linked. They are two people who can dance and are worth listening to. The style feels a bit like the 2000s, which is great! !
