Even with their current achievements, Marco and Stefano remain grounded in their humble origins. Recently, they revisited some of their initial songs, demonstrating their commitment to honouring their musical roots. Additionally, they have established a Bandcamp page to showcase their works, emphasizing their dedication to preserving their artistic legacy.
