In a statement, the band has said, “it’s been like this now for one and a half years at least, and the feelings within the band were just not right…. Now though, there’s really good vibes again. Really good energy!! A very positive attitude!!! It feels like a complete band!" "Sikk Roxx is a wonderful injection! A nice funny guy that plays great bass and can sing the chorus’ brilliantly!! We found him very quickly! In fact, we knew him from before this occurred, so the choice was easy!!!

Having made a mark on the scene and receiving great reviews for their debut full-length released late 2012, this is the band’s first video from the album. Politically charged, and opening with part of a speech from Robert Mugabe (President of Zimbabwe, where half the band are from), the track tells a story of rising up against brutal dictatorship. “Dinosaurs, are they extinct? In the political sense, no. These ancient creatures still rule the world, sometimes to the detriment of their subjects. Out of touch, out of sync and out of line. Sometimes rocks and riots are the only things that make these fossils listen to their people.” – KTP
