TRACK PREMIERE: YOUNGBLOOD "DARK PLACE"
Lead Vocalist Alexis Young says of the song, “‘Dark Place' speaks to the masochistic tendency of repeatedly making the same mistake and not understanding the compromising effects of that until it's too late. Sometimes you really need to have something completely fall apart and be destroyed before you are able to fully understand its value. It is the thrilling allure of pressing the self-sabotage button and watching what unfolds before you."
