An album born of two tales of triumph and perseverance - one of Sam McTrusty grappling with his own ghosts, and the other of their finest album to date coming after a time when band morale was at an all time low. The day the band finished work on their last album, 2024's 'Meltdown', was also the day McTrusty packed up his entire life and studio to start a new life in Toronto with wife and two kids, unaware of the rich seam of songwriting that it would inspire. In Canada, with just his studio and his past to reconcile with as he navigated his new life, McTrusty found himself in that `tunnel' once again.
