ABOUT THE ALBUM
They’ve woven years of tumult through their mid- and late-20s into something powerful and real: a tight-knit, sincere, and caring rock and roll band hitting full sprint, with a full-length record about youth, memory, relationships, and how the relentless passage of time shapes and constantly reshapes all of those things. It’s a bright, punkish, emotional guitar-rock record that ultimately tracks the process of learning to be okay with not being okay.
It opens with the sunny riffing of “Youth,” a crashing, teenage summer night ripper over which Wyatt reckons with how to accept the passing of time. Follow-up “R.I.P. Me Down” is an early-Aughts indie-rock spiral through unlearning the masculine coding to suppress things inside. Later, “The City” is a sweeping, colossal alt-rock exploration of feeling lost, small, and insignificant, a cynical love letter to Toronto. The icey punk rock frenzy of “Lock On” gives way to “Crawling,” a warm, classic-rock love-song stomp, after remembering the beauty of a past relationship. Baker describes the song, with a genuine grin, as “nice guy rock.” The record closes on the tender finger picking and snare drum shuffle of ballad “Younger Days,” complete with gorgeous, ghostly harmonies and wistful organ accompaniment. Wyatt’s voice carries the record to its uncertain end. It’s a tentative peace, one that Kasador embraces but knows might not last, as nothing lasts forever.

ABOUT LOCK ON
Released April 7, 2023
The icey punk rock frenzy of “Lock On" is accompanied by introspective, autobiographical lyrics in which vocalist Cam Wyatt is fighting to convince himself to let go and embrace uncertainty. Providing himself with step-by-step instructions for how to burn the bridge, and assurance that taking the hard road is his path to happiness, Wyatt encourage listeners to face their fears head-on and take control of their destiny.
ABOUT CRAWLING
Released February 24, 2023
A song written for anyone that's struggled to call it quits on a relationship, even after the other person already did. This song places you in the middle of a story that you could very well be the main character in: “Remember walking down, to the harbour park, past the willow trees in our summers off, and we’d talk about how we leave this town, as we’re laying down beneath the painted stars... I come crawling back to you, so you don't have to"
ABOUT YOUTH
Released January 27th, 2023
Time moves fast and life brings so many pressures that stop us from living in the moment. When we're always focused on whats next, it's impossible to enjoy where we are. 'Youth' is a realization that things won’t—can’t—last forever, a reminder to live in the moment, and an attempt to make sense of the gap between youthful dreams and very adult realities.
