Positive Songs for Negative People

High-energy folk punk recorded live in the studio. Sweaty, anthemic, and fiercely optimistic songs about picking yourself up after hitting rock bottom.

August 7, 2015 · Xtra Mile Recordings

A fierce, sweat-soaked determination to find hope and healing after a devastating collapse.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, explosive transition from the quiet acoustic intro of track 1 into the full-band, high-octane punk charge of track 2.

The haunting, echo-laden room ambiance of 'Song for Josh', recorded live at the 9:30 Club, where the silence of the crowd feels incredibly heavy.

The soaring guest vocals of Esme Patterson on 'Silent Key', elevating the tragic narrative into a beautiful, weightless climax.
