[edit] Music
Vocalist Jef Carter underwent emergency surgery after narrowly surviving a knife attack on the streets of Brisbane. This became the inspiration for the title track of Light at Days End. The first release from this album, "Never Again," has been heard on national and independent radio stations around Australia, including major stations Triple J and Triple M. Light at Days End has reached No. 6 on the A.I.R Charts.
