Hall Of Mirrors

Our latest single Hall of Mirrors is part of Big Dog Recordings’ 10 year anniversary Pizza Session sampler. And the full compilation album is out now! Featuring Tusky, Batwölf, F.O.D., Loud Love, Mike Noegraf, St. Plaster, Charlie Bit My Finger, Craig’s Brother, Harsh Realms, Bridle and us! Hall of Mirrors is an early-AFI-inspired track about the shifting perspectives of protest; who is on your side and who isn’t? Recorded by Tim van Doorn at Big Dog Recordings obviously, recording session music video by Seppe Dausi. Also available on vinyl via our web shop. All profits go to Dog Rescue Greece. Big love for Big Dog!

Our 2nd Canadian tour has come to an end! It was a blast to be back in the country of maple and hockey, meet old friends and make new ones including the incredible folks of KRANG!

There’s a bunch of people that we wanna thank for making this trip possible and fun! First of all Steve at Merit Based Bookings for booking the tour, Joel at Nordik Legion Productions for facilitating and all promoters for putting up shows, especially the precious people at Pouzza who kickstarted this tour! Our friend Chris van Haandel for helping us out on the road and behind the merch! All amazing bands we played with! Bruno and Cynthia at Thousand Islands Records for releasing our music, hosting us in Montreal and adding some leftover albums to their distro! Touring Canada means staying at people’s houses, we love the following people for welcoming us into their homes: Nab of Spitehouse, Mig of Dead Alright, Marc Ryan, Jordan Elijah of Faster & Louder Records, Joe & Kyle of Probably House and Cory and Casey of Tarantula Tapes. Two big thumbs up to the Fonds Podium Kunsten for supporting Dutch bands abroad!

We hope to make it back over to Canada asap! Let’s not take 11 years to do this again!
