We follow the call of excitement. Where there is excitement, there is energy. And where there is energy, there are opportunities. That is why we initiate and support projects within and beyond our music that embrace participation, empowerment and creating opportunities to be seen and heard. So that we can all show up, create things, break them down, experiment and surprise ourselves.
What we wear on stage tells a story. Not just about style, but about what we stand for. That’s why we’re proud to team up with CARPASUS, the Swiss brand for timeless fashion and sustainable design. We both call St. Gallen home and share a passion for craft, quality, and conscious choices. And just like our music, they’re rooted in values like authenticity, curiosity and the courage to do things differently
Surfin’ Puffin Records is our own independent music label — and it’s a feeling. Like the puffin, we believe in loyalty, belonging, and the quiet power of returning to the things that matter. Inspired by surfing, birdwatching and the wild beauty of the coast, Surfin’ Puffin Records supports not only independent music, but also biodiversity. 10% of all label income goes to BirdLife Switzerland.

The Aima Music Academy in Lira, Uganda, makes learning to play musical instruments accessible for everyone. However, instruments are rare and usually too expensive. So we support them by collecting instruments and sending them to Lira. It all started with a simple question and ended with an exchange of music. We want to keep this energy going!
