Bates), Fresh Snow is not easy to pigeonhole. &#8216;Won&#8217;\u00a0will explore different sides of the band&#8217;s aesthetic, and features vocal appearances by\u00a0DIANA&#8217;s Carmen Elle, and\u00a0FUCKED UP&#8217;s Damian Abraham. Just as they are prone to wearing masks onstage, so they are intent on keeping listeners guessing what they&#8217;ll do next. In an age where everything is instant and people have nothing to hide, Fresh Snow believes that a little mystery makes everything more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Beauty lies in the extremes.
