Recorded at Noble Street Studios, ‘The Rest Of The Story’ was written, composed, by frontman Ian Thornley, alongside acclaimed producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Evanescence, Alice in Chains, Korn). With engineering by Chris Holmes, mixing by Eric Ratz (Danko Jones, Arkells), and mastering by Andy Vandette (Rush, David Bowie).
