The group is comprised of guitarist Malcolm Brickhouse (13), bassist Alec Atkins (13) and drummer Jarad Dawkins (12). Speaking to the New York Post, Dawkins said about the Sony record deal:
“I’m so excited! We’ve made it!”
His mother Tabatha Dawkins is equally excited saying:
“What started out as play dates went to Times Square and now this. It’s been one great thing after another.”
She also mentioned that the boys need to finish school first!
“School work comes first. If their school work is not done, they don’t play,”
“Unlocking the Truth” has reportedly opened for major rock band Guns N’ Roses, and played at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
