We've reached out to drummer, Anastasiya Khomenko, to find out what their live as become as of right now, the story of her band, and of course, what can we do to show our support. -------- Before we start, we just want you to know how much we sympathize with what you are going through, and we can only imagine how tough these times must be for you.
