I don’t know if this will surprise anyone. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’ve finally worked up the courage to tell my story. To share my deepest truth. And that feels like freedom too.”former member Jason Dunn as the band’s lead singer in 2012.,” and shifted its musical focus from pop-punk to modern rock.
