Blending elements of hard-hitting modern rock with the vintage aesthetic of southern blues like Kings of Leon and The Black Keys, the sophomore EP, is an in your face rock album which thickly layerd guitars with slamming drums that underline soaring rock vocals.

鈥淭his album represents more than just our combined musical preferences. It鈥檚 the result of years of hard work, friendship, differences and the experiences we鈥檝e held together as a band. We couldn鈥檛 be more proud of it,鈥� said the band. 鈥淥ur producer, Eric Ratz, was the ultimate fit for us and we鈥檙e ecstatic about what he brought to the table. If there鈥檚 a rock album that will have people hollering this year, we hope this is it.鈥�
