The Hamilton, Ontario band is on tour for its latest album, High Noon. Vocalist Max Kerman has this to say about the album and current tour:

“When we toured Canada for Michigan Left, we hit the road two weeks after the thing came out. No one knew the damn words yet to the songs, and it just wasn’t as fun.

“For High Noon, we kept putting off our Canadian tour to see if people were connecting with the record, and at least had time to get familiar with the tunes.

“So here we are. We swore we’d never do another winter tour in Canada, but the timing just feels right… so off we go. These are our biggest shows yet, and we couldn’t be more keen to play.”
