With live shows that burst with their trademark energy and three albums under their belt, they have managed to build a dedicated following in their hometown and beyond. Citing influences from artists such as the Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Alice in Chains and Muse, their sound has been compared to the Red Hot Chili Peppers meets the Clash meets the Police, and they are known for their funky bass lines and the musical twists and turns that await around every corner. They have played many sold out shows, headlined Lethbridge’s Bigwood Festival, and have opened for Finger Eleven, The Dudes, and Pack A.D. Recently, they were chosen as the ‘Alberta Band of The Week’, during which they were featured on four major radio stations in Alberta.
Their newest release is a concept album titled The Bitterness of Men. It’s an eleven-track album that tells the story of Charley and his struggles as he returns from the war. With Nathan almost exclusively playing all the instruments, it’s a slight departure from their previous works, and offers a more theatrical overall feel, with one song flowing seamlessly into the next via musical segues.
