About the album

After parting ways with their old label, the Arizona band paid for these sessions themselves, and the result is a perfect blend of punchy power pop, emo heart and arena-sized hooks, produced with Mark Trombino.

"The Middle" is three minutes of pure encouragement, "Sweetness" has one of the great singalong "whoa-oh" choruses, "A Praise Chorus" is a joyful tribute to the songs that shaped them, and "Hear You Me" is a fan-favourite ballad.
