In addition to performing on bills with such artists as The White Buffalo, The Alabama Shakes and Nikka Costa, the band is about to commence recording a 6-song EP followed by its third full length album. Said EP will include mid-tempo stand out song, Get Me Golden, which is currently featured in Citibank's national TV ad campaign and in upcoming Columbia Pictures feature film, 21 Jump Street.
