They have released one studio album: Devil on the Loose (2016).
The band formed in 2014 when Erik N and Pontus were living in Malmö. They invited Erik J, who was living in Stockholm, to come visit them in Malmö for some jam sessions. Soon after, the trio borrowed some microphones, went back to their hometown and spent the summer in a wooden cabin, writing and recording what would be their debut album, Devil on the Loose.
The bands raw blues rock sound draws from classic blues legends like Robert Johnson, the raw style of R. L. Burnside and modern artists as The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr. and BRMC

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the rhythm while I'm riding next to ya
Ah you, got me sharing like a child now
You keep on burning up my heart just like a fire
We got these big wheels here turning all around
Oh, like a wildfire burning it to the ground
Oh, down the highway, riding the California sun around
Oh, I'm coming for you
I'm coming for you
Oh, I'm coming for you
You got me rolling and I'm trying just to break through
Oh, I'm a fool, I just don't wanna fool ya
Ah you, you wanna feel the bad wind blow?
Well, that's where, that's where, that's where we're gonna go
We got these big wheels here turning all around
Oh, like a wildfire burning it to the ground
Oh, down the highway, riding the California sun around
I'm coming for you
Oh, I'm coming for you
I'm coming for you
Oh, I'm coming for you
I said, it's all for you
Mmm, it's all for you
