Guitarist Jimmy Young reflects on the significance of the album, stating, “Making this album felt like everything had led to this moment.” He emphasizes that this project is a culmination of experiences accumulated over years of touring and artistry. “If you’ve ever had fun at a show or enjoyed our music, you’ll love this record. That’s why it’s self-titled – if this is it, I can die a happy man,” he remarks.
