Their new single “Wolves” immediately caught the ears of SiriusXM’s AltNation and was placed in full rotation. The song climbed the Alt18 Countdown (based on fan votes) - peaking at #7. It also received spins on KROQ and reached #2 on alternative specialty radio's FMQB and KKBB singles charts.
The band is headed back into the studio this summer to record a follow-up LP to be released in early 2016 via Fairfax Recordings.
Painkiller
Dreamers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hurts like hell, she's a painkiller
Woke up on the bedroom floor
With a bottle rocket in my hand
Strung out and I'm almost gone
But I'm coming after you again
I'm coming to see ya'
Walking the streets after midnight
Feel my bloodstream
Halloween daydream
Baby, come make me alright
Whoa, it's a long, long way down
Fix my heart
Leave me on the floor
Hurts like hell, she's a painkiller
Fill my lungs
Make me beg for more
Keep me numb she's a painkiller
Backed out by the city glow
And the sun's not coming yet
No way I'm coming clean
Of the demon in my bed
And it was nice to meet ya'
You were the fever
Driving alone in your black car
Hardly breathing
Down on my knees
And sinking alone till I see dark
Whoa, it's a long, long way down
Fix my heart leave me on the floor
Hurts like hell she's a painkiller
Fill my lungs
Make me beg for more
Keep me numb she's a painkiller
Whoa, it's a long, long way down
Fix my heart leave me on the floor
Hurts like hell she's a painkiller
Fill my lungs
Make me beg for more
Keep me numb she's a painkiller
Fix my heart leave me on the floor
Hurts like hell she's a painkiller
Fill my lungs
Make me beg for more
Keep me numb she's a painkiller
She's a painkiller

Ha, I met Nick on a plane. Told me about his band. Crazy humble. We played Mario cart on my switch. I had no idea he was already this big. He is going to be world famous, I can tell.

That is why Mario Kart can be played split screen with two JoyCons! For moments like that
