Album Notes & Community Reviews

This third studio effort from the New York-based quartet offers a muscular, driving synthesis of roots rock and heartland storytelling. Produced by Neil Geraldo, the album tightens their blues-inflected garage sound into a more radio-friendly, cohesive rock package. The passionate, blue-collar lyricism earned them significant critical acclaim and steady college radio airplay.
