The band kicked off 2012 with the release of a new single, RADIO in March and an appearance as semi-finalists in Boston's esteemed Rock n Roll Rumble in April. 2013 saw the band move out to a more regional focus while playing a series of big shows at home with appearances at notable venues such as the Middle Esat downstairs, Brighton Music Hall, T.T.
