Earlier this year they also released a video for "In The Night Time", which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/zTJuw_mJqME as well as 'Hard Times' https://youtu.be/6FIOTobg_HM and 'Heavy Shoes' https://youtu.be/w9xCISNIefw 

About the new song 'Prosecution Blues' Christopher Tapp (vocals, guitar) shares, “Prosecution Blues was an opportunity to tip our hat to some of our heavy Blues influences. I always loved the way that Zeppelin used a Blues as a vehicle to insert metaphors and say things lyrically that were poetic and deeper than the surface layer. That’s what we tried to do with Prosecution Blues, and also take that vehicle on a spin through streets that were familiar to us.”

The band's story alone would be enough for a drama series – cancer, suicide, betrayal, divorce, loss, self-identity crisis, survival, and ancestral skeletons. Write about what you know, they say.
 
There's a richness running through the songs with dark, multi-layered narratives that course through every twist and turn. Dirty fuzzed-up rock and roll meet blues, garage, desert rock and a Southern Gothic sensibility. Sombre storytelling is etched into their songs with unflinching honesty. For Chris Tapp and Brian Mullins, authenticity is their hallmark.
 
Recorded largely at Sam Phillips Recording Studio, Memphis - with the remaining at their studio in Indiana - this Memphis vibe has seeped into the record. How could it not – the music, the history, the people, the Mississippi river. Mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers) and mastered by Andy Vandette (Beastie Boys/Smashing Pumpkins), Heavy Shoes is their heaviest record yet.
