Even though we can often wrestle with negative thoughts and feelings there is always something positive that you can try to focus on instead. Understanding is often easier said than done.”

Friends” is the fourth single taken from the forthcoming album ‘Sure To Leave A Mark’, which has been in the process of production for a long time coming. The trio has taken their time to craft a collection of songs that accurately represent the values and drive behind the band. “We have worked hard to consolidate and define the overall sound that is Worse For Wear,” explains Heinz. “I believe this release is the perfect representation of who we are as a band. We hope that people can connect with the songs and take something positive out of listening.“
