"!ROUSING POWER, HARMONIOUS COMBINATIONS OF ENERGETIC UP-BEATS, HOOKS AND MELANCHOLIC MELODIES."' Rock Hard Magazine (DE)
"...CLEARLY AND DEFINITIVELY SETS ITSELF BETWEEN PUNK AND ROCK!AN INTERESTING MODERN ROCK ALBUM WITH A PUNK WAIVER."' Metal Hammer (DE)
Having toured most of UK and Europe over their career since the release of their debut "No Association" in 2008, the band are well seasoned whether playing large festivals, Arenas, Academies or club shows. Sharing stages with the likes of: Sum 41, Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, Bullet For My Valentine, Pendulum, Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio, All Time Low, Pennywise, Four Year Strong, Mindless Self Indulgence, Millencolin, Zebrahead, No use For A name and more.
Built with a DIY ethic engrained into them, the band even self recorded and self produced their sophomore album "Scratches & Scars" in 2011 to critical acclaim.
Whilst "Signs" was their most successful album to date, behind the scenes there was turmoil occurring without the bands knowledge resulting in an unamicable split with their management company as it collapsed mid campaign.
The band began writing again in early 2014, and now in contact with Ken Seaton of LA based label Hardline Entertainment who had expressed interest in the band. Accepting his offer of recording a new album in his studio The Porch in California, the band flew to the US and spent over a month living and recording in Hermosa beach, Los Angeles, hometown of Black Flag, Descendents, All and Pennywise. Following a productive session in LA, Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Sum 41, Lit, Pennywise, Ignite) then came onboard and mixed the album in Maple Studios, CA.
The band states: "Being in a town so rich in punk rock and specifically melodic punk rock inspired us to record "New Horizons" and make it sound the way it does. It's definitely a new era for us as band on so many levels."
The album is about using and building on the past, and that's exactly the drive that the band has. Armed with a new label, new management, a new member and a new batch of songs that represent and sound like a band that has a new lease in life, the album title speaks for itself.
"Primarily it is a positive album about going back to writing songs that made us want to be in a band, or listen to bands in the first place and its an album about moving forward."
"New Horizons" is set to release July 24th worldwide via Hardline Entertainment.
