And alongside the 12 tracks, the group also revealed the music video for “EARTHQUAKE.” Frontman Aaron Bruno, also of AWOLNATION fame, cheekily said of the song, “I feel like we are due for another massive earthquake.

While on a massive tour run, Dexter And The Moonrocks have released a new track, “If You Could Talk,” alongside a bittersweet, raw music video about the reality of life on the road.
