Home2024 was interesting. We had a blast learing a bunch of Down songs and played the "Release the Hounds" benefit show that helped raise money for the local stray rescue. Our boy Justin Love (formerly of Rusted Skin and Quaere Verum) helped us out by playing 2nd guitar, and it went well that we asked him to be in the band. After a few months of learning the songs, we were ready to go out and wreck shop. We were all ready to go and were scheduled to play the "Wreck the Halls" toy drive show at Red Flag, but unfortunately on Thanksgiving, the homie Jake Fox had an accident that was a little more than a bump on the head. He was hospitalized for a few days where he had a seizure and had a brain hemorage, not cool. We're happy to report that he is going to be fine, but head injuries are no joke and it's going to take time to get back to 100%. Of course we had to drop off the show, but the silver lining is that now we have time to focus on writing some new material we're about to fuck some shit up in 2025.
