They and long time friends Dave Bowen, Seth James, and Steve Littleton formed the new band soon after Ragweed called it quits in 2010. Canada and James recently stopped by the RTX studio where Canada explained the inadvertently often controversial "Adventus" album cover, and James offered up the story behind "Prayer for the Lonely." Both answered "Five Questions," check it out.
