            NN: What a crazy story that
            was! We just moved back
            from Brooklyn to Austin and
            we were processing all the
            experiences  and  emotions

            how so many people we meet
            seemed to be missing some-
            thing…no matter how much
            money or things that they
            had. Everyone has some sort
            of need or addiction and
            thus the lyrics for our song
            ‘The Program’ were born. It
            became a hard-driving song
            about  things  that  control
            you.   After we published
            the track on Bandcamp, it
