Thank you all for being here and sacrificing your Saturday morning. Your participation today means the world to me. I wanted to say clearly how much I love and appreciate all of you. I’ve been living with ALS for some time now and the only reason I’ve made it this far is because of the support of my friends. Some of you I’ve known forever, some for only a short time, and some I’ve never met in person until today. But that doesn’t matter. Your presence has changed my life. We are here to raise funds for ALS research, to promote awareness of the disease, and to have a little fun at the same time. I firmly believe in the power of fun and that every situation can be improved with a smile and a good laugh. Mark Twain said that “terror is the absence of humor.” Terror is not a part of my daily life because of you guys and your ability to make me smile when I need it most. You don’t know how much a few simple words at the right time have helped me, and I can’t say thank you enough. I have had an amazing life, and I’m truly sorry that it’s coming to an early close. The saving grace is that I get to do something positive before I go, and that I get to say a proper goodbye to all my friends. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful folks, and I hope you take this moment and carry it forward. Be kind to strangers. Help those in need. Have a smile and a good word for everyone. Tell your friends and family that you love them at every opportunity. There will come a day when no one has to suffer from ALS, and you are making that future a reality. I am proud and honored to be a part of such an amazing group, and I love you all very much.
…Let’s go walk and kick ALS squarely in the ass!

This whole album is amazing and It's very hard for me to pick a favourite because it keeps changing but every song on this album absolutely go's off. All of Pepper Coyote's (Including his early work in Look Left) and Fox Amoore's songs are definitely worth listening to. anguspmc

Very cute, and very true-to-life! The arrangement is extremely well-done on every track, it is hard to believe that this did not come from some large production company. I bought the LP, and I must admit that I am slightly disappointed with the sound quality. It was clearly cut from a compressed digital source. There are some artifacts present at softer passages that should otherwise be bone-jarringly smooth on high-fidelity LPs. lord_of_foxes

My favorite is a tie between We Will Be and We Will Rise. I highly recommend the album, as it feels like it tells a story from beginning to end. not only that, but the music is well done from start to finish. Charlotte Autumn
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
