Pure high-energy rock n roll charged with hope love and change. If ever a band was destined to be career artists it was these 3 boys from the midwest.

notes

Welcome open heart. No better time than now.

Welcome to our family. We dream in the sticks. We rehearse where the busses don't run. We eat and sleep late in the same little spaces. We search with you. We want to travel with you.

Angel and Devil. Getting comfortable with grey. No more us vs. them. The only truths we've found so far are rhythm, melody, energy and kindness.

Push us. We're going to push you.

Music has always changed the world and it always will. Songs are rips in time - upsets to stagnation - waking dreams. Live shows are sacred times where anything can happen. 50 percent us, 50 percent you.

Slow down your mind. Speed up your heart. Step inside with us.

  • The Angel/Devil Burns Bright
    author: Nick

    The main reason I bought this album was to hear Gooding's guitar choices. He doesn't disappoint. The opening track (Dummy) is lit with wicked guitar tonality and attitude while the rhythm section makes its presence felt in a sometimes awkward, sometimes heavy and powerful series of sudden shifts. Lyrically, this is the band's best record to date. There is a breadth of lyrical dexterity here ranging from an adult worldscope (Dummy) to a raucous playfulness (Damn You're Mean) with a healthy dose of the band's usual sense of dynamic break-up visions (You Spit Fire, I Spit Gasoline) for any old school fans of the band and/or Gooding. And while it is difficult to separate this project from Gooding's other work (hey, he's a prolifically restless and creative gem of American rock and experimental music, what are you gonna do?) it is clear that not only is an effort being made by this band to distinguish itself out from Gooding's long dark shadow, but they are also very successfully igniting a sun of their own. Easy ears could dismiss them as being the same as any other aggressive modern rock outfit; real rock fans aren't easily placated and their discernment will lead them to truly enjoy these deep waters. Buy the album.
