In Their Words: “‘The Long Road’ is a song about the ins-and-outs of regret. The times when you can’t help but think you could have tried a little harder, maybe reached out a little further. It’s also about the redemptive powers of a good friend and some strong words.” — Colin Macleod

Label: Fat Wreck Chords
In Their Words: “‘All For Nothing’ is a song about misplaced obsession, commitment, and sacrifice for the things that ultimately destroy us. It’s about how we lie to ourselves to ignore what’s real. I wanted the music video to be melancholy while capturing a sense of isolation and loneliness but with some of the culture that is the background from the band being from Southern California. The image of the ocean is a metaphor for the unrelenting power of the things we cannot control in our lives.” — Trever Keith, frontman of Face to Face
