Latest Releases

Hope

Our new album, released on May 8th 2025. This is our first album in 40 years and we’re very proud of it.Most of these songs were composed back in the 80s but have been reimagined for 2025. A lot of the subject matter is unfortunately still so pertinent you may think those songs were written recently.Moving from very personal subject matter to political and social topics, the engagement of our youth is still very present in every one of us today.
