Take Offense’s guitarist Greg Cerwonka,” says, “We’re really excited to bring in the new year with MNRK and to be included in such an awesome roster of artists. So far, working with MNRK has been great, and knowing we have a team that truly supports us is a great feeling, especially since this new record marks a new chapter for Take Offense. And honestly, we’re just pumped to be on the same label as Ace. KISS ARMY FOR LIFE!”
Vocalist Anthony Herrera adds, “We couldn’t be happier than to work with a label like MNRK. So far it’s been an experience that has allowed Take Offense to be Take Offense.
