Daamn! This is so unbelievable!! Finally (t)he(y) got some recognition!
And the new music video, it is truly awesome! The coolest for long time! I didn’t like so much of this “Trick of the wrist” track (what does it mean anyway?) and I assumed Superpowered superfly will be definitely the next single and video.. but now I’m sure they did the right thing. The video is illustrated so well, and the message is clear and the attitude is strong and the whole thing is so rocking piece of work! Daamn I can’t express myself well enough!

So happy you’re finally getting the recognition you’ve deserved for a long time time now. You are truly one of the all-time greats, and the new material is fantastic! I look forward to the day when I can say you are no longer the most underrated rock star of all time! All the best always! Love oxox
