Interesting backstory , thanks for posting that !
Speaking of interest perhaps you already posted this band but of all places I heard it on forestry forest's YT . Normally forestry only has royalty free music or even his own recordings (which I didn;t know until just now that he even dabbled in music) if any music (because he;s the most low key non you tuber tuber going) but this was one of his earliest videos back when he did "bikepacking" trips for months at a time . Now he just climbs peaks sometimes with his Jack Russel dog or cooks in his van out in the outback of Canada

....anyway the band he had for background was called Allah Las (album "worship the sun") and they actually have like 6 albums on Apple music over about 10 years in the "west coast psyche rock "
