 Recorded in their home studio, the 13-track
set features Tammy Ealom (vocals/guitar), John Hill (guitar), Craig
Gilbert (drums), and Jeff Fuller (bass). The melodically infectious,
lyrically barbed new tunes such as “Lady Liberty,” “Make Mine Violet”
and the anthemic title track showcase the band’s uncanny ability to wrap
Ealom’s personally charged, pointedly subversive lyrics in sparkling,
irresistibly catchy songcraft.
“All of my songs come out of some sort of
personal turmoil, or they’re me getting back at someone or something,”
Ealom reveals. “I feel like we’re just starting to get good at what we
do. We’ve had a lot of time to hone in our sound, knowing what we want
to sound like and figuring out what we need to do to get that. I’m
really excited about the future.”
