Rowling said when the group started, they wanted to just infuse a whole range of inspirations ranging from Bruce Springsteen to George Strait to Metallica.
"Eventually we realized that we were writing some decent songs and should really start recording them," Rowling said. "So, in 2019, we released our debut album 'La Beagle Loca' and that was a way for us to dip our toes in the water. But we weren't happy with it. So we worked hard since then to make this newest album the best we can do at the moment. The new album will be self-titled and have eight songs including our single 'Burning Flame.'"
Rowling mentioned the band is still seeking members.
"We are actually having auditions here soon for a drummer, bassist, pianist, and organ player," he said. "Jeremy does all of the drums, piano, bass, and organ in his home studio in Grafton.
"All jokes aside, we really do want to show that there are young people in 2021 who are still annoying their neighbors with good old rock and roll."
