On December 2, 2015 in San Bernardino, CA, 14 people were killed and 22 seriously injuried in the biggest mass shooting since Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Eight days later, The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica drove from his Chicago home to meet up with guitarist Kyle Sipress in Kansas City to write and demo new material for what would become Transit Blues (October 7/Rise Records) Both very much affected by the escalading gun violence the world had been experiencing, “Lock & Load” began to take shape.
