The vocals stretch your ears rather expertly and with a barrage of impressive guitar riffs to pour another with, this is a sizzling track that might give you a hangover tomorrow.

After an almost never ending search, Sean LaSalle became their saxophone turned bass player, bringing the funk to what they’ve begun.” ~ Night Revival
