Many thanks to the staff at Saint Andrews and to all of you rabid rock fans who came out to party with us on this big night. Shows like this are the reason you start to play music in the first place.

In great spirits after a great show at The Machine Shop last week! It's such an amazing venue and it was a great honor to have our debut show there. We can't thank Ballz Deluxe enough for allowing us the opportunity to kick off the show at their new CD release party!
Now it's on to our own CD release party Saturday December 30th at The Loving Touch in Ferndale. This is a very special show for us and it's going to be a DUAL release show as our guitarist Mike Leslie is also releasing his new EP "Easy Death". We also have some amazing opening talent with the Gasoline Gypsies and Katelyn Corll with the Cripple Creek Band. Doors are at 7pm - only $7 - and all ages are welcome! It will be, without a doubt, the BEST way to spend your New Years Eve... Eve! Angelo

So excited to announce the release of our debut EP The Lows! About ten months of work went into this project & we couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. We think you'll find lots of sonic delights throughout the record. I couldn't be prouder of the team I put together, as a huge goal was to create a record that I enjoy listening to myself!

“On this chilly winter night, opening act, The Lows, warmed up the fans with an energetic set, teasing us with what was to come later in the evening with their modern take on the 90’s grunge/hard rock sound.”
“The Lows are taking the Detroit rock culture by surprise with a sound that pays great homage to the 90’s grunge/ hard rock era. Overall, the performance of this band at The Loving Touch was high energy, driven, and set out with a purpose.”
“Sonically, they come on hard, fast and loud, a solid attack with a sure footedness typically reserved for more veteran groups.”
