The album is definitely an early present for the new month as November marks the band’s tenth anniversary since they formed in 2009. The record, produced by John Feldmann, which his work comprises of Good Charlotte, The Used, Panic! At The Disco, Blink- 182, All Time Low, and many more. The album has more of an infectious high energy spirit and was recorded in L.A.
