Background

Cageless was released on September 29, 2017. It is their first album release with their new drummer Jay Benison.[7] Lead singer Jacob Hoggard had written 30 to 35 songs for the album, before finalizing the 10 tracks for Cageless. The band announced a headlining tour that would begin in 2018 called the "Cageless Tour" which featured supporting acts, Shawn Hook and Neon Dreams.[8] However, amidst the sexual assault allegations towards the band, mostly Hoggard, both Neon Dreams and Hook decided to dropout of the tour.[9][10] The band's management team also dropped the group in light of the allegations. Despite the allegations made towards the band, the group continued the Cageless Tour until March 2018.[11]
