First "soft released" last year for a joint tour featuring Rad Owl and Quit, the "Double Play/Picks" split is now out officially, with cover art and on streaming platforms via Cardinal Sun Records.

“'Double Play' is the spiritual sequel to 'Aladdin’s Castle,' the first song we ever released," drummer David Jarnstrom says via press release. "Both are names of places we’d frequent as kids in the Mankato mall -- the former a comic book and sports cards store, the latter an arcade. We collectively spent thousands of dollars in those two places. I even remember watching a few innings of the 1987 World Series (featuring our beloved Minnesota Twins) on a tiny TV in that store.

"We fully intended this song to be on our last LP, Rage Gracefully, but we just couldn’t get it to fit. So we’re beyond stoked it found a home on a split 7” with our heroes and friends in Quit -- another shreddy, melodic, prog-punk band we obsessed over as dorky teens just learning how to play. We did some shows with them last year and have become really close friends, which is super special and validating for us," he goes on to say.
