Recorded with Dave Schiffman (Mars Volta, System of A Down, Rage Against the Machine) in the group’s studio ‘The Big Game Lodge’ in Van Nuys CA. the record is simple, sloppy, out of tune and out of time. But that's exactly what it should be and packs a punch with a running time of 33min and 45 seconds. The bands longest playing LP up till this point in time.

This summer saw the band headline the Vans Warped Tour in the US and they are set to embark on a further US headline tour and a number of dates with Bad Religion.

Additionally, the band make their ‘big screen debut’ playing Black Flag in a forthcoming film documenting infamous LA band The Germs, The Germs: What We Do Is Secret
