Joel Eel)' which premiered via Now who call the track, 'a hard-edged, EBM-leaning analogue electronic song that skirts industrial, EBM, techno and post-punk...(Eel's) gothy vocals ...perfectly fit the propulsive synth meal plan.'  Bulkhead note 'The inspiration for 'Route Sixteen' came from the desire to escape the mundane; a longing to break free from the monotony of everyday life. We had collaborated with Joel Eel in the past by remixing one of his cuts, and we figured the intensity of his vocal work would lend itself well to our production style. We gave him free reign to do what he wanted, and he more than delivered something unique and special. Also - the obscurereferences in the lyrical content keep things pretty open to interpretation, which is a concept we've always loved in any art form.'

A collection of songs which give voice to powerful stories of personal struggle, loss, doubt and redemption, the record has already generated acclaim from publications such as Rolling Stone Country, Taste of Country, Digital Journal, and more.

They're persisting and in their persistence there's a heroism that may be quiet and easily overlooked. I find it really inspiring.'
