In 2022, they followed that up with another EP, World On Fire, which garnered the band several award nominations including Best International Rock Band, Best New Artist, Best Lyric Video, and a Josie nomination for Rock Single of the Year. Their music continues to receive accolades both in the US and abroad holding the #1 spot in the LA-based Indie Star Radio’s Top 21 for four straight weeks and a feature in ERB Magazine (UK). #discovermusic #indieartist #indierock
