Release Text:
Welcome to our 2nd album “Blood On Our Front Stoop.”

This album is about Human Rights. It’s about unification in the scene. It’s about sparking a positive mindset and embracing our differences as humans sharing this earth. It’s not politically charged in the sense of a two party monopolized system.

We won’t be bullied into picking a side. We believe that big business politics, political parties, and agendas are all corrupt and have witnessed it first hand. (May God truly and sincerely have mercy on all our shortcomings.)

As a band we believe that everyone should have a voice, shelter, and food. Being Homeless and feeding the Homeless should not be a crime. We try and tackle serious issues in our Community of Chicago and beyond. We stand against hatred. We believe in a Scene where Homophobia, Sexism, Classism, and Racism are not acceptable. “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”

Unity. -2Minute Minor
