We determined to do what we do greatest and make it quick and easy. No vitality misplaced. Lyrically, this music is in regards to the dedication.”
SPINELESS
“We wrote all of the drum beats and construction for the music first, simply specializing in the vitality. It was the primary time we wrote that manner.

Throughout COVID, Isaac from Knocked Free and Chris determined to write down some stuff collectively for enjoyable.”

SEVERED FOREVER

MORE THAN A WITNESS

After we would present associates or producers through the years all of them commented on how a lot they cherished the refrain and the way we wanted to determine a strategy to end the music, so we lastly determined to take another shot at it. It was actually enjoyable to re-work it. Very stoked we don’t ever must work on it once more!”

H84U
“This has a really early 2000’s vibe. Reminds us of sweaty VFW halls and children screaming each phrase. It’s hardcore. It’s emotional and it was the right music to have Connie from SeeYouSpaceCowboy sing on. As quickly because it was accomplished it simply felt like the plain nearer for the report. It appears like despite the fact that you’re exhausted, you’re nonetheless someway hopeful.”
