Moments Worth Listening For

The title track's slow-burn opening that signals the band's pivot from hardcore to roots-rock storytelling.

The unexpected vulnerability in the cover of 'Backstreet Girl' where the punk veneer drops for pure melody.

The way the guitar solo in 'Like an Outlaw' mimics a lonely highway siren.
