In early 2023, the band reformed and announced the September release of their 7th studio album SC\SSRS, the first album fully written and recorded by Vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Stephen Richards, recorded at The Loft studios in Saline, MI. With songs originally written as the follow up to The Episodes, Richards spent the better part of a decade writing and refining the tracks that would become SC\SSRS, fighting his way through personal and health issues, including the loss of his mother, all of which are chronicled on SC\SSRS.

Shortly thereafter, the band announced their live return, with a trio of sold-out shows at the legendary Machine Shop in Flint, MI, followed by an “album release tour” with dates across the Midwest and East Coast, and festivals including Blue Ridge Rock Fest, and WJJO’s Taste of Madison.

SC\SSRS was released on September 29th on THC: MUSIC, along with the single “Favourite Song” featuring Elias Soriano of Nonpoint, which received rave reviews and airplay across the country, including adds on monster stations like WJJO, and featured appearances on syndicated shows including Loudwire Nights, Full Metal Jackie, and Hard Drive with Lou Brutus.

DJ TEKNIK SAT. AUG. 24TH AFTER SHOW 21+ NO COVER

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

Music has been part of my life ever since I was a kid. Started in choir, graduated to band, and then I changed schools in the middle of 8th grade and the band program at the new school was trash so I dropped out of it. Tried to pick up the guitar and join a band in high school but never got very far with it and when I hit the bars I found DJing and have been going with it ever since.
