    That picture at the top is hilarious! This band knows whats up. Definitely agree the video for ‘everybody have a good time’ is absolutely genius. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album! That radio head cover is also extremely well done.

    Currently checking it out. Love it! Pre-ordered Hot Cakes so I’m excited for the official release. “Everybody Have a Good Time” is extremely catchy; expecting the rest of the album to be just the same. 😀
