“As excited as I was at the prospect of finally working together, I was unsure of the possibility of us both finding the time,” Bridwell said in a statement. “Luckily for me, Sam was persistent with the idea of recording some of our favorite tunes that we’d always wanted to cover. I couldn’t be more excited to continue this project at the upcoming shows to take it even further while playing some of our original songs together.”

“Ben and I started our careers together and had been threatening to work with one another for years,” added Beam. “When we finally conceived of the covers project and carved out some time, it was nostalgic and fun from top to bottom.”
