about

We have been working on this one for a while and we love these songs. The whole band is involved and we have incorporated a new singer to the group, Alicia Wiley Martinez who does some background and lead vocals. The songs philosophise and tell stories to toe tapping fun. It starts off with trying to imagine "Love" taking a break and just going on pause, which is how our society feels a lot of the time anyway, then it goes to the song I.C.U. On Christmas, which is told from the perspective of a doctor in the cardiac ward of an emergency hospital who has just had his heart broken while going into save other people's hearts during Christmas, after that a song about a condiment, another song about all the people you can meet at the junkyard, and more!
