They saw instant musical chemistry and potential as they set out immediately arranging and writing songs while playing live across the Santa Cruz area. The band played as a three-piece until jamming with vocalist Charlie Vail, after which it became apparent... Vail was here to stay. Early access to their debut EP is currently exclusively available by downloading straight from empiregrademusic.com, with the EP set to release on all streaming platforms on November 12th. ROSEWOOD Grunge rock from the 831! DIRTKICKER Heavy redwood stoner rock from Santa Cruz.
