“Over a year ago, we launched a Kickstarter campaign; we failed, it was heartbreaking,” multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Steven Herron tells P&P. “So we decided to do it ourselves; we launched our own crowdfunding platform and ended up making more money than we would’ve done with Kickstarter. In short, it was amazing, and so through the generosity of our fans we were able to record 25 songs, mix and master the best 12 and press a load of CDs. This is our third studio album, it is the best thing we’ve ever done, it only exists due to the generosity of our fans. if you like pop, indie pop, AAA, etc, you’ll like this.”
