With honest, and familial lyrics, Tj Maclin (lead vox, guitar) dictates the often felt yet unexpressed voice of the young man; while Ryan Augusta (guitar, vox) fills in the cracks and provides a full-bodied presence. Matt Augusta (bass) and Anthony Foti (drums, vox) supply a rhythm section with deep pockets and a satisfying groove. @ThaddeusAGreene
