So much hard work was put into this record by such an incredible group of people that it’s hard to know where to start. Special thanks goes to Jaret Stodola, who was our extra set of ears and source of off-colour jokes. To Matt DiPomponio, for more Simpsons quotes than a band could ever ask for. To Mack Cholowski, who continues to contribute the photos that go with our music at a criminally low rate. To anyone who has bought or streamed this record.

Thank you.
