Speaking of the lead single frontwoman, Virginia Lillye, explained the following:

“Run is dedicated to a dear friend and fan of the band, Luke “Woody” James Woodland who passed away in 2014. He was conscious about environmental issues and the importance of significant numbers that ran in sequence. One of his attempts to make people aware of the environment would be to paint himself blue, spay his hair green and become “Captain Planet”. He would then begin running around Sydney, Australia starting from a suburb beginning with a letter of the alphabet then ending in another suburb beginning with the same letter. This was his favorite song, and whenever we played it live, he would be the first to break out into a wild dance. We were fortunate to have his younger brother Will, play the lead role in our video, and honored that he portrayed his brother Woody who was such a colourful and passionate character.”

Evolve is the follow up from the release of bands self-titled EP in 2014. It was produced by the bands own bassist, Christian Lauria at Machine Men Studios and mixed by Shane Edwards of Karma Studios. Edwards is known for his efforts with national heavy icons Northlane, Hans Zimmer and Thy Art is Murder.

Evolve will be available for purchase via Eclipse Records. It can now be pre-ordered on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play or the classic compact disc.
