Now, they are playing with The Deal (they recently reformed) on a regular basis, as well as bands like No Innocent Victim, Braveheart, The Faith Snakes, and even making a appearance at the Facedown Fest this year. I HIGHLY recommend their CD, go and buy it, you won’t be disappointed, even more so because the album has enough material on it to be two albums!
