The SIID
The acoustic track, "Part Of You" actually stated out as a rap song written by Akira. Initially titled "Tales From The Womb", the song tells a story from a fetus' viewpoint of a his mother's drug use, no father, promiscuity and thoughts of abortion. Akira bought it to the band and String wrote the hook which would later become the actual song when the rap was taken out and the acoustic guitar and cello were added. Designed to make the listener think, the song makes a lot of suggestion towards the debate of abortion but never takes a clear stance.

INDIE SPIRIT
In 2010 the band entered Rising Son Studios in Nolanville, TX with world renowned producer Roy Z (Judas Priest, Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Sebastian Bach, Sepultura, etc) to lay down tracks for what was to be their most powerful album to date, Life Of Lies. The sextet came in contact with Roy Z through a series of events, "We had (Virgin Records consultant) Scott Frazier come out and scout us before we recorded Life of Lies," says Akira. "Scott said we needed a hit song and to generate some buzz for the labels to take interest and suggested we check out a band called Downset who was produced by Roy Z. We were working with Maor Applebaum, who was mastering a demo for us at the time.. We mentioned Downset and Maor said he knew Roy Z. He put us in contact with him and we sent him some demos and he agreed to work with us. He ended up flying in to record a song we had just written that was very radio friendly and at the time we thought it was a great launching song. We recorded "MySpace Police" but to our dismay, MySpace fell and Facebook rose making the song irrelevent but started the writing process for Life of Lies.
