Of the documentary’s release, Chuck Comeau shared: “We’re so excited for our fans to finally be able to watch this documentary. Working on it has been such an emotional rollercoaster as we got to relive our own story, from playing in our parents’ basement to performing sold out shows all over the world, and everything it took to get there. We hope our fans will enjoy it and be inspired to follow their own dreams.
We're also thrilled to share “Nothing Changes”, a brand new song and video inspired by the documentary and the past 25 years and marking the next chapter in our musical journey.”
