Back in November, the band gave us a surprise to cover Taylor Swift's "...Ready for it?". Unfortunately, the track is not included on the debut EP.
The band will perform live in support of the EP at F n a Rhythm and Booze in Waterloo, NY, on December 16.-
About the debut EP, frontman Joey Arena told Loudwire in an interview;
"Tilting the EP, What Doesn’t Kill You is the open-ended statement that allows the listener or individual going through a significant struggle to determine the outcome of their character. Personally, the album is about overcoming. Facing my demons and and not losing myself along the way.
Creating it was a true test for my love of music. Eight hour drives weekend after weekend to record in Cleveland, whether rain or shine, state of emergencies or closed highways, I found a way to get there, even if it took me a little longer, while battling through mental anger, self doubt, setbacks and psyching myself out. Lyrically, this is me at my most vulnerable to date. It’s raw and true emotion. I wanted to directly express what I was feeling at that moment of writing. I wanted the listener to know what I felt and hopefully relate." - ydwAlgNExt8
