Today, they are celebrating the release of not one, but two EPs entitled MoonEater and SoulEater, via Epitaph Records. Each release delves into different aspects of the band’s sound: the heavier, mosh-pit-inspiring side, and their synth-laced, pop-punk side. “Breathing,” the lead single off of MoonEater, features nothing,nowhere and showcases the group’s versatility by tapping into the arena-rock space. Vocalist Joshua Roberts’ soaring belt takes the song to a whole new level. Meanwhile, their… Read more »
