I'm running a really fun campaign with Tunespeak for the next month to give away a ultra-rare signed test pressing of "Bloodline Maintenance" and merch bundle. You can listen to the new record, watch videos, check out my Instagram and earn points to win- it's that simple. Good luck!
Actual test pressing has white cover and is not pictured.

Lyrics:
You're the reason
Aliens would come down to earth
Outer space must look small
From inside your universe
We paint time
With the colors of our lives
With what we do to survive
If I were the branch
Of an old oak tree
I hope you'd be the one
On the swing tied to me
Your love is on a need to know basis
And I need to know right now

LYRICS:
I fear that everything is happening in this world
Some days it brings me to my knees
You said I dropped in on the wrong planet
As if it were up to me
When I'm down in
My heart pounding
Below sea level
We belong to us
Glitter covers the dust
My best efforts met with disdain
Surrender by another name
A deep breath
Is all that's left
Below sea level
Read in the papers
Watch on the news
Planet's hanging on
By the string of its shoes
You sing high
I'll sing low
Down where daylight dare not go
Below sea level
🎥 Adam Keely
Sound: Danny Bernini
Band: Leon Mobley, Oliver Charles, Chris Joyner, Darwin Johnson, Alex Painter

The Volebeats are a very special band. A rare jewel in the Sonic crown of Detroit. I couldn't be more proud of having them on my record label Mad Bunny Records. Their first single in ten years, "Diamond Ring," is out today from the forthcoming album "Lonesome Galaxy."
