“Once again we made this record with producer Josh Kaufman and engineer D. James Goodwin at The Clubhouse studio in Rhinebeck NY. The history and comfort of working with these two made the sessions joyful and exciting. We were able to get to new places in the music and atmosphere, while retaining a familiar THS vibe. The result is our most cinematic and expansive release yet. THE PRICE OF PROGRESS features ten narrative rock and roll songs about people trying to survive in this modern age. It’s a great way to celebrate our 20 years as a band.”

And here’s the first single. SIDEWAYS SKULL is
a jagged jackhammer. Rolling and rumbling with
a piano interlude midway. Score!

Tune in.
