i’ve paid my dues, and i’ll keep paying. it’s been a long hard drive and we’re not sure where we’re playing. the road is rough and so confusing. you learn to love the journey when you’re losing. if we don’t break down then we’ll see you soon in your shit town, cos we aren’t the champions. we’re not even runners up. we cant much play but we’ll do our damnedest anyway, and while you break out the champers we’re gonna drink warm ale from the losers’ cup. there’ll be mistakes and comic pratfalls, and you can pay us with your heckles and your catcalls. the game is rigged but we’re still in it, because you know that we love every stupid minute. we aren’t the champions of the world.
Gabby - This album is so awesome. I saw them play a Instagram live show at the beginning of lockdown (because this is life now) and they were great. This record has been on repeat for me since then. Pardon Us
Alex - These are a clearly a group of great musicians who are always looking to mix things up, and this record really does justice to the fury they bring to their live shows Pardon Us
Morgan - My most-listened-to album of the year so far, and proof that pop-punk can still be exciting, innovative, surprising and relevant in 2020. Pardon Us

Well I first listened to this a couple of times on a quiet Sunday afternoon and it really took hold - Emotionally charged songs that resonate with killer riffs that tip a hat to HDQ and Leatherface.. A real gem of a second album that will stay in my top playlist for a while! Dave Miller
