Uh‐Huh

Loose, gritty heartland rock with a cynical edge. Recorded with a garage-band spirit, it pairs massive radio hooks with sharp critiques of the American Dream.

The record where the 'Cougar' started growing up and the rock and roll got a lot more dangerous.

A high-energy blend of small-town defiance and the sobering realization that the American Dream is fraying at the edges.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, dry snare hit that kicks off Crumblin’ Down, setting a tone of immediate urgency.
The handclaps and communal 'ain't that America' refrain in Pink Houses that masks a sharp social critique.
The defiant, almost punk-rock snarl in the bridge of Authority Song where the guitars lock into a jagged groove.
