"A message from Kevin and Anthony:

Five albums, nearly a thousand shows across dozens of countries. We've spent over a decade creating music we love and performing them.

We've worked passionately and tirelessly, but we've also been incredibly lucky to have a fanbase that has lifted us up on their shoulders.

You've given us a long leash to push ourselves creatively, never feeling like we have to stay in any musical box. Now we're going to see just how long that leash really is.

For the last three years, we've been quietly writing andrecording our first full-band country record. We know this may come as a surprise to fans who discovered us through Warped Tour and the scene.

We could have comfortably stayed the course, celebrated album anniversaries, and kept writing acoustic songs. But the passion that fueled those records has changed, and without that spark, there was no reason to keep making them.

All we ask is that you approach these songs with an open mind. If they're not for you, we understand. But our favorite records have always been the ones that revealed themselves over time-the albums that stay with you for life.

This journey began almost by accident. Ten years ago we stumbled into a Jason Isbell set at Summerfest simply because there were seats in the shade. Little did we know we'd discover one of our favorite songwriters of all time that would send us down a rabbit hole of a genre we had only casually heard. We fell in love with music all over again.

That discovery eventually led Anthony to the pedal steel guitar. Watching him dedicate himself to mastering such a difficult instrument reignited something in both of us. It sparked the most inspired songwriting we've ever experienced. We've never written more, never been more excited to pick up our guitars, and it genuinely feels like we're beginning a new chapter.

With no label and no manager, we rely entirely on the people who have carried us this far. We hope you'll come with us again.

New songs. New videos. New tours.

Buckle up."

Thoughts? I'll definitely be skipping this album, can't stand country music. First Bilmuri and now these guys. I really hope this isn't the route bands start taking.
