they’ve melded engaging, melodic songwriting with sharp observations about American culture, with a sound reminiscent of a more rock orientated version of fun or grouplove – an exhilarating thrash of pop-soaked sing-along-at-the-top-of-your-voice choruses.

The album’s lead track ‘The Wanting’ speaks of a fractured father-son relationship: “Walston and the Business smooth out some of their scruffier tendencies on ‘The Wanting,’ resulting in a cleaner, anthem-friendly approach with big, booming refrains reminiscent of Kings of Leon,” - said Rolling Stone. “Walston and company have made another major stride forward in redefining their sound as well as the conventions of what Southern rock is supposed to sound like” – pop matters.
