It's mature in a way that captures our experiences and resonates with both us and our fans." This blend of nostalgia and contemporary relevance is sure to strike a chord with longtime fans and new listeners alike.

The new album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a narrative of their shared history, struggles, and triumphs. "When fans listen to it, they will reminisce, but they'll also feel things that are going on in their life right now," Donnie explains. The tracks tap into the life experiences of the band and their fans, creating a shared journey through music. This approach brings an emotional depth to the album, making it a poignant addition to their discography.
