“Wake up, you’re still at the wheel now.” Don’t forget that you are in control of your life and you are not controlled by your past. “Wake Up” is a breakup song disguised as a driving power pop jam. It has a theme very close to our song “Touch the Flame”, where we address tendencies to think about that which may hurt you.

Take a listen to our new single! We collaborated with our Grammy Nominated friend Dave Wolak to make a chill pop song. He approached us saying that he had a song in mind for us to collab on, and that we should get together and brainstorm. Uh, hell yes, we'd give it a shot! So Justin, Matt, and Dave sat together and within 30 minutes, Matt had written all the lyrics. As the lyrics poured out, Justin was already crafting the melody and the hook to the chorus. We fleshed it out for another half hour and then on another day, we went into the studio to record the vocals and whatnot. Easy peasy. Hope you enjoy!

What do we even say about this project? We've been planning this EP since pre-covid, and then the pandemic put everything to a grinding halt. A few years passed, fate stepped in and gave us new opportunities to work with some new musicians on this project. The result of our hard work and passion is a collection of songs that reflect our values of love and growth. Finally releasing this music is honestly so cathartic and we are beyond happy with the quality of these tracks. Please enjoy and share if you love it! Click the links to listen to Music For Love:

Our premier EP is in motion! The energy “Piece of Mind” gives off is infectious and it was the obvious choice as the single for the “Music For Love” EP. The lyrics address self-doubt in a relationship, thinking yourself unworthy of your partner. Despite the lyrics, this song keeps things upbeat with some masterful guitar solos and support from the whole extended MD family. Click the links below to listen on your favorite service:

Our cover version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is part of the Almighty Christmas Compilation III: Apocolyptic Edition organized by our friends The Uh Ohs. We decided to make a little video to go along with it since it was so fun to record (see below). We switched it up and had our bassist Matt Morsovillo take the lead vocals! Enjoy your holidays, friends!
