We were shocked today to see that the lead track on our previous album, Second Chances, has surpassed 27,000 streams!
It appears that a person or persons in Ukraine used "Better Than Ever" as background music in some IG or FB post(s) back in February. We can only speculate as to the reason, but considering the lyrics, we're humbled to think that it may have been used to rally their audience(s). It's not a meaning to the song that we'd ever considered, but we could see it now.
If that's so, then we're extremely honored that our music could provide support, no matter how meager, to such an embattled people. Thank you, and we know that when this is all over, you'll be back...and better than ever.
We are thrilled to announce the release of our third studio album - Trilogy, featuring return guests and new talent! Please check it out, and enjoy!
