New single & video out today! + more tour dates

The video for our new single, DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S CHANGED? is here, and Rock and Roll Globe has the premiere! Check it out below and share the track with a friend that you think will dig it! The new record, AVOID ATTACH, is out this week on 9/26!

You can read more background about the track on Rock and Roll Globe, but the song is about how so much is changing each and every day, yet there’s still a lot that fundamentally stays the same, or changes very little over time. It’s interesting to try to identify what has truly changed vs what is just noise.

We also want to thank A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed for giving the new record a listen and for the review!

AVOID ATTACH favors tracks with a heavy rhythmic hook… There's heft here, but also a lot of nuance. With Dowling's vocals curling around the bass and synths, a listener is sort of pulled in it… More than a portion of Avoid Attach made me think of Eighties-era King Crimson. And that's high praise indeed. Matt Dowling has crafted something smart here, and yet he's retained a lot of emotion in these heavy grooves. Highly recommended.”

It’s gonna be a great week! See you soon, my friends!
