Andrew “Hellmouth” Gray has returned to teaching in Philadelphia, but Sean Hoots and his three band mates are keeping the musical party going with a new drummer, new songs, new drive and the same name. Although the band is not with a record label now, fan support raised enough money for their next release — and then some.

“It was wildly successful,” said Hoots of the fundraising efforts. “We have more money to put into this recording than we ever had before.”
