In partnership with Wax Bodega, Lessons That We Swear To Keep will be the first independent release for the five-piece-Castro, guitarist Jake Hughes, bassist Justin Castro, lead guitarist Lawrence Warner, and drummer Hall. "For the past eight years, we'd always had a label to answer to," says Castro. "We were free to do whatever we wanted. Usually when it comes to writing and recording, there's always this stress around it where you want it to be as good as possible but you're trying to meet deadlines. This time that just wasn't there."
