This was followed by “Project Mayhem” in 2012, which gained them attention with the singles “Complicated” and “Liars In The Eye” receiving airplay on U.S. radio stations, XM Satellite Radio, and Music Choice.

• “Rise Of The Loser” Creed: The band has a defined “Rise Of The Loser” creed: “I am a loser, but I am not a failure. I learn with every loss and become stronger by every obstacle. I cherish my defeats as well as my victories, for knowing what not to do, is just as important as knowing what to do. I will strive to be a positive and empowering force to help others learn from lessons they don’t yet understand.”
