You can't sweat out the Fever

“Things are happening. Whether you choose to believe it or not, they are happening. Whether they affect you or not, they have significant effects. This music is a response to those happenings. This is a response to the effects. Even if you aren't the person playing it, please take a moment to listen and understand. Share with others and let them know- there's a fever coming…”
