The indie rock trio recently released their sophomore album Too Much to Ask, which blends catchy melodies with witty and scathing social critiques. Singer-guitarist Greg Katz comments on the motivation behind the album: “I think the last year or so has drawn a big circle around a lot of things we all already knew, but maybe didn’t know we knew. The shock of isolation and the shock of togetherness, the call to activism, and the pull of resignation wanting the best for your friends but expecting the worst of yourself. The sneaking feeling that your life is mostly funny but a little sad a lot of the time – except for the times when it’s mostly sad but still kinda funny.”
One of the album’s highlights is the infectious “You Always Want To Bomb The Middle East”, which features a companion lyric video.
