I planned this album when I had a broken arm and wasn't sure if I could play it again. I recorded it before and I had surgery for the second time. I am proud of what the band and I have done...

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday. This means that Bandcamp does not take a cut for music bought from their site - it all goes to us! Which makes it an ideal time to pre-order our new album:
