The Band Name Is A Call For Awareness. “We Chose Softcult Because This Band Is All About Social Commentary.” Says Mercedes. “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.” The Siblings Were Also Members Of Courage My Love.

“This Song Is About Consent It’s About Saying ‘no’ And Having It Happen To You Anyway ” Mercedes Explains. “It’s About Being Followed While Walking Alone At Night Or Being Cornered In A Bar When We’re Just Trying To Have A Night Out With Our Friends. It’s About The Lingering Fear And Trauma That Haunts Us Long After These Experiences Have Happened. It’s About How These Experiences Make Us Feel Powerless And Change The Way We See Ourselves.”
