It all started years ago

In 2017, after wrapping up work with the band Minds of One, Ron and Jon got together once again to forge some musical creativity.

Around the same time, Jon and Dave (Tangent, Vinyl Groove, Deep Cover) rekindled their friendship over their shared love of good red wine, a great steak and the band Toto.

One day, on a trip to see Toto, Jon mentioned to Dave that he and Ron were collaborating. Dave expressed his interest in adding his talents and the three long time friends got to work.

Song ideas formed and the trio soon realized they needed a singer to complete the project.

Who better to convince but Sean (Tangent, Vinyl Groove), a very talented singer, partner with Dave in previous bands and a mutual friend of all three.

then things got serious

With Sean on board, Camp Meeting Studios came alive with fresh ideas, great singing and lush vocal tracks from he and Dave.

Combined with Ron’s lyric writing prowness and bass chops, Dave’s blistering guitar tracks and Jon’s dynamic drum beats, the beast had been released.

At the end of the recording sessions, two songs passed muster and were ready to be mixed and mastered.

Jon’s recording engineering had proved to be successful and the tracks were turned over to Mike Stiskal for final mixing and mastering.

The songs came back sounding great and were ready to be released to the world.
