The Atlanta band gained attention for last year's self-titled EP, which led to tours with Wishbone Ash, the Winery Dogs, Adrian Belew and others, plus appearances at Mike Portnoy's Progressive Nation At Sea cruise.

The five-piece consists of frontman Vladdy Iskhakov, bassist Mark Golden, drummer Josh Baker, guitarist Paul Sorah and guitarist Cameron Allen. They cite Rush, Muse and King's X among their influences, along with personal experience of work as touring musicians for a string of big-name acts.
