The first guy had a classic surfer look, complete with untanned skin and a laid-back grin, while his brother had a more low-key, cool vibe. Dressed to the nines in their rocker best, they both rocked long hair and some stylish ear piercings.

"Hey, you must be Selina. I'm Thomas Cooper, lead singer and guitar guy. And that's my younger brother Luke, the one on bass Lydia's tokl us all about you, so let's see what you've got.
