Produced by guitarist/vocalist Stephen Richards at The Loft in Saline, MI, and mixed by Matt LaPlant (Nonpoint, Skindred), the album, fully written and recorded by Richards, will be the band’s first studio release since 2012’s The Episodes (Victory), available Sep 29th at retail and all digital outlets Worldwide via THC: Music/Seven Arts/Amplified Distribution.

“Favourite Song” goes to radio this week and has already started garnering attention from stations across the US, including spins on the nationally syndicated show Hard Drive with Lou Brutus.
