It’s hard to argue that the Vancouver-based trio isn’t making a splash in the Canadian music scene. “Quality song writing is the foundation we built our band on” says Grant Walker. With over 7,500 digital singles and 500+ copies of their debut EP sold so far plus important festival appearances alongside acts like Down With Webster and Victoria Duffield under their belt,
their ep was recorded with producer and drummer of ̈Default ̈ Danny Craig. “He really helped us up our game and take it to that next level.” says Roman Zugarazo. The songs on our current EP are the best we’ve ever written and we look forward to recording an album in 2014.
The band’s current single “Unbelievable” has had local success at radio. winning the “Spin-off” competition on Vancouver’s SONIC 104.9 FM , beating out major international acts. This earned the band a spot in the station coveted "Hall of Fame", the first unsigned artist to do so.

Don't give up,
You know your life is what you make it.
Don't ever stop,
You got a chance you'd better take it.
Cause even when the skies are darkened,
Inside your heart there's still a light.
But don't give it up,
Cause you could own this town tonight,
And there's no reason you should get down,
Cause I'll pick you up next time you feel bad.
Make it the best you ever had,
Make it the best you ever had,
Make it the best you ever had.
Tears in your eyes,
I know somebody really hurt you,
Give it sometime and realize you could've pulled through.
Cause if you want someone to love you,
You'd better learn to love yourself.
You know you're headed for a breakdown,
But don't give it up,
Cause you could own this town tonight,
And there's no reason you should get down,
Cause I'll pick you up next time you feel bad.
Make it the best you ever had,
Make it the best you ever had,
Make it the best you ever had.
So next time you're down,
Call me anytime and I'll come around,
Cause you're the brightest star I found.
You know you're headed for a breakdown,
But don't give it up,
Cause you could own this town tonight,
And there's no reason you should get down,
Cause I'll pick you up next time you feel bad,
Make it the best you ever had.
Breakdown,
But don't give it up,
Cause you could own this town tonight,
And there's no reason you should get down,
Cause I'll pick you up next time you feel bad,
Make it the best you ever had.
Breakdown,
But don't give it up,
Cause you could own this town tonight,
And there's no reason you should get down,
Cause I'll pick you up next time you feel bad,
Make it the best you ever had.
