The rampageous record was produced by Grammy and Juno award winning Dave Schiffman (Trash Talk, PUP, Rage Against The Machine) and sees the band emboldened by the body of work they\u2019ve crafted. McFarlane says it how it is: &#8220;<em>This album is about death, wanting to die, and fighting for something to live for \u2014 it\u2019s the end of all things. I feel this is the one of the most important cross-genre albums this century. We are Nirvana, we are The Beatles, and The Stones.&nbsp;We are really changing the dimensions of which the game is played like the Steph Curry of this rock shit. We all have feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and I used to live there. I\u2019m trying not to die there. &nbsp;If I\u2019m going out, I\u2019m going out shooting.<\/em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OBGMs (that\u2019s The oOoh Baby Gimme Mores) \u2014 rounded out by drummer Colanthony Humphrey and bassist Joseph Brosnan \u2014 aren\u2019t your typical rock band. \u201c<em>This is a black-fronted punk band, and that\u2019s really important,<\/em>\u201d McFarlane says. \u201c<em>Rock n\u2019 roll is mostly white suburban kids\u2014that\u2019s what gets promoted.
