I have definitely been swirling around the fringes of this band for awhile – hearing their music in various places, missing chances at a couple shows, breezing through a few articles…so aware and disconnected I guess.  I do distinctly remember hearing their Arrested Youth EP (years ago…maybe 2015?) and thinking that they had a pretty cool energy and a bit of an eclectic sound that was a mix of punk, pop and rock.  It was a band that sounded authentic to me so kind of a bummer that I did not stay up on them over the years.  

They have released a lot of music since that time and you can check their Bandcamp page to pick up a few songs or albums if you have the inclination.  I got the heads up on this new single (out March 13th on Wicked Cool Records) from Mike Cubillos at Earshot Media and really like the way it kicks off with rowdy guitars and big crashing drums.  It then jumps into the strong vocal track that is carried along on some nice bass textures.  The guitar sound and tone do a great job of giving this pop-punk song a little bit of an extra edge.  This single is an engaging track that deserves a spot in your collection.  

The band also just jumped on tour for most of March and have a slot on the Van’s Warped Tour June 13-14 (Washington DC – Festival Grounds at RFK Campus).
