Below is the conversation I had with Rob Reece regarding the new album.

Rob: ‘Do you want to hear our new single? Its out in September. Its Mammoth, we’ve been told it sounds like audioslave meets Bonjovi and Metallica at a Crossroads.

Me (after listening to the single): Oh wow, that sounds awesome! A bit meatier than previous tracks!

Rob: Yeah that’s the way we are going.

Me: I’m excited for you guys!

Rob: Thanks Deb, the album is very diverse though, as we wrote songs over a 12 month period, so the band has developed its sound.

Me: That’s great, the transition from your earlier songs to your new sound will be on the album, so a bit of something for everyone!

Rob: Yeah, IGNITED was one of the last songs written as well as the ballad on the album which is really stripped back to just acoustic and vocals, no drums.

Me: Well I am looking forward to hearing the full album closer to the release date Rob, wish you all the best and hope to see you soon!
