Written by Morgan Harris, Kyle Dowling, Mason Harris and Samuel Di Vito, and produced by Mark Dahm at The Warehouse Recording Studio, Boring thrives in chaos.

With Morgan Harris on vocals and guitar, Kyle Dowling on lead guitar, Mason Harris on bass, and Sam Di Vito on drums, Red Maker detonated a refusal to play it safe.
