Just felt like adding this one other track to satisfy curiosity. When we play it live it's a hugely successful set opener and gets folks locked in with us. When we were working with our producer in the studio he was hearing a single all day long. Then it went onto the album and I feel like it didn't feel the way I and my bandmates imagined. I don't know... ultimately the listeners out there will tell the true tale. Curious to hear how people receive it.more

One of the earliest songs our singer had in his trove of songs when we first started collaborating. Written while much younger he wasn't sure if the sentiment and lyrics would translate in adulthood. I still think it's a great song and has a strong ongoing build up to the end.more

I wanted to get this third track out there from our debut release since it's getting a high stream count right now. I think it's incredibly fun to see the songs that folks latch onto once the album has been released into the wild. It's an occasional surprise. This song is a one of our more fun, tounge in cheek tunes that we'll often use to close our set. It gets pretty nuts during the live ending. Hope it finds y'all well!more
