Christopher Ellis (of Burn Disco Burn fame) joined on bass and Jake Mohan (ex-Speed of Sauce) on drums to fill out the band. Recorded songs for the full length recording "Rotation," from January to March with producer Mark Paulson and then again in June and July with Minstel Studio producer John Svec. Eight songs appear on the debut full length due out in mid-October.
