“We aren’t just looking for someone that can show off their skills as a musician,” says guitarist Cameron Maynard. “The band needs someone special that personally favors the traveling, and it should be in this person’s best interest to truly enjoy performing and working creatively day in and day out.”
The band’s most recent album is Intrinsic, which was released last year.
