New Line Up and More!

We're very stoked to introduce our new band mates Kristen Wells on bass and Kyle Smith on drums. So happy to be rocking n' rolling with a full line up again. Our first show will be June 13 at May in Toronto for NXNE. After that we'll be back on the road for some summer tour dates throughout Eastern Canada with our label mates Verse The Sun. Full details on that tour coming soon. To celebrate the new line up we'll be giving away all our music free for one week on bandcamp. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us over the last couple years. You all rule!
