Press release:

The boyz have been pulling their hamstrings, getting their new Ep ‘Democracy Manifest’ together and now it’s time to present it to you in ‘live’ fashion. Believe me when I say, they're not just turning it up to 11… no, they're turning it up to 12. Prepare yourself for a rock and roll show so filthy and loud, even the speakers need some ear plugs.
