The Final track on “To Be Or Not To Behave” is The Ballad of Felix Moncla (2024 Version)The song is an updated and fully realized version of a song
the band created and released remotely from quarantine during the early days of the
coronavirus pandemic. “Back in 2020, when we were unable to perform or even
assemble in a room together, we were intent on staying creative. As happy as we were
with the results of putting this one together from our respective home studios, it still
has the overall vibe of something recorded in isolation,” Glenn
explains. “Initially, there
was never any plan to re-record this one, but we found ourselves with some extra
studio time and our bass player Mike Leggio suggested we use the time to attempt an
updated version. It was an excellent suggestion on his part because Brian Charles
ended up giving the song the lush production value that it always deserved.”

The song is a brilliant way to close out a beyond stellar EP that shows a band who is a 1000% on top of their game . Do yourself a favor and check out “To Be Or Not To Behave” you will be beyond glad you did .
