The song also performed well internationally, receiving heavy rotation on radio stations in Europe, the US and Japan pushing the band higher into the global spotlight. Since then, the band has released several albums, the most recent one, “Into the future” in 2020, which acclaimed positive reviews for it’s modern approach to the band’s established style, while still staying true to their melodic rock roots. 2025 marks a comeback with a brand new album coming out. With their new album “When Yesterday Comes Around” the band takes you back to a glorious time, but with a modern sound.
