    "comment": "The sisters originally started a punk band named Courage My Love but wanted a fresh start and new direction in 2021. “We felt really frustrated that we were unable to do anything about global injustice from a studio in Canada,” Mercedes reflects. “We realised we had a sound totally different from what we had been doing with Courage My Love and the ethos of Softcult was very social and politically minded, so we thought we should start a new project and it can be whatever we want. There’s nothing holding us back or any preconceived notions of what it could be or should be.” \n\nShe continues: “We chose Softcult because this band is all about social commentary. A soft cult could be anything from a church, a government, a family, a band even. It’s anything that you don’t really question where you follow your group of people. We’re all in soft cults in society that we don’t realize we’re a part of, we’re just willing participants because it’s a normalized thing at this point. It can sound a little harsh but it’s also meant to make you question which soft cults are you a part of.”\nhttps://www.gaytimes.com/culture/softcult-dont-try-and-be-what-someone-tells-you-to-be/",
