Notable // All of the songs for a future full-length album are written. Now, the band just has to work on the arrangements and presentation, Nethery said. They hope to get started by the end of the year.

Quotable // "The longer we're together, the more the music becomes a little bit darker and a little bit more mature," Nethery said. "We really like the sound of a lot of bands from the early '90s that are really grungy and have a garage-rock sound, which is what we sound like live. We'd like to stick with that for an album."
