Thanks to many generous contributions from supporters, friends, and families, as well as the support and engineering/production brilliance of James Treichler and Ryan Groff, we were able to create this dark, sparkly, heavy, sweet, and whimsical adventure we are calling 'Hells & Chronicles'. Being our debut full-length album, it is a true collection of exploration and adventure in getting to know each other as writers and musicians. We are very proud of this collection of songs and really hope you enjoy them.

the kind of power pop that instantly makes you smile and head bang at the same time. driving guitars reminiscent of magnapop and sweet contrasting vocals reminiscent of velocity girl. Mike D.

"keep it in the dark" feels like summer storm music: it swirls and comes in torrents but it cools your skin with burst of calm. i don't know how they balance the dichotomy so easily, but they do. the pitterpatter of accidentals in "fools"'s guitar line, the gentle unison vocals of "we collide", the churning sea of "see what happens"- it all melds into something as rousing as it is calming.
