The third single from the album 'Dance, Animal!' is currently on rotation on Iheartradio[12] and running for Louder's grand prize of the 3rd International Summer League Torunament of bands[13][14]
The album got mostly positive reviews[15], The music news site Abrasive Noise gave it a positive review “Curses” is mysterious in its nature and I’m still not sure what it is trying to tell me. Whatever its message may be, I enjoyed the journey of listening to something that is outside of the box and thought provoking. [16]
