After signing with the multinational Peermusic, It is time to release their fourth album, Dakota. The band hardens the sound that has accompanied them since its inception, with an album that is closer to rock and southern rock than their previous efforts.

After an intense national and international touring schedule during 2015 through to 2017, It is now time for the band to release their fourth album and they are already announcing the first dates of their upcoming tour, which will take them across Europe and U.S.A.

The album opens with “A Place To Settle,” a fantastic opening track, which brings an upbeat and positive tempo. It is infectious and enchanting to its core. This track definitely doesn’t settle, it raises the bar high for what is to grace our presence. “Hit ’em Low, Hit ’em Harder” follows with a fast tempo, while, it hits the gas and drive forward, making sure to hit you hard. It is catching, as the guitars bring their soaring groove to the table.

“Don’t Need To Knock On Wood” follows with a southern country groove, which shines through, creating light and such beauty. It shows off a classic sound, with some extra spice, while complex guitars add the perfect bite. “Hold On” rises and dips, therefore creating an excellent contrast and consequently, it makes you want to hold on for more. Outstanding vocals blend and flow with such ease on this tight and brilliantly executed number.
