The band said the following:

“Hey there people! Are you tired of hearing the same old thing over and over again? Have you ever wondered where the passion and originality has gone? Do you look at the blues as a form of art with shapes and colors all it’s own? Are you bored with robots doing the 1-4-5 on a shallow pond?

Nothing inventive is safe, and nothing safe is original. To us, this record is an experience, an event. Every note is played as if it could be our last. When it comes to the blues, we mean business.
