Since the album release, the guys have been busy touring, writing and recording. With a new album recorded at Rockfield Studios complete, the guys are genuinely excited by what may be their finest work to date. We managed to spend an afternoon with them at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg on September 24th 2015, where they were one of only a handful of bands to play multiple slots.
