"The indie rockers take your ears on a journey for those first moments where they add shoegaze, Britpop, and psych elements to their signature sound.

Pop heavy hooks, catchy lyrics, and a fuzzy guitar with snappy drums are all over. The way in which this band mixes multiple hooks with pop melodies without coming off soft, is pretty damn magical." - David Garrick - Free Press Houston Critics have compared the band to Husker Du, Ride, Swervedriver, The Posies, Superchunk, Sebadoh, and Dinosaur Jr.

The Texas alt-indie rock band have been playing pop songs too loud with guitars cranked up since 2008.

This most recent LP "Drowned In Moonlight" was released Sept 28th 2018 in the States via Shifting Sounds.

The album was mixed and mastered by Kevin Butler (Quiet Company, Honeyrude, Magnet School, Black Books).

It is now available in the EU via Cargo Records.
