I love this band so much, I wanted to show them to everyone who may not have discovered them! They got a bad rap with Tooth & Nail Records. The band explained that they left the company because they were being bullied and they were being forced to censor themselves. They are now producing their third studio album You Can't Kill Us independently through the help of their fans. Although the Kickstarter funder is over, you can still support them by purchasing their newer songs off Itunes. They have claimed they do not have rights to the first two albums. They are an amazing band and they're lyrics are amazing.
