Soon afterward, the New Jersey-born McGee moved to the Research Triangle area near Chapel Hill, and Levy followed suit shortly thereafter.
For the band's third album, 2012's Shake My Head, the lineup included McGee and Levy, as well as Rock Forbes and Steve Oliva.
[5] Shortly after Shake My Head was released, Levy moved back to New Jersey, marking his departure from the band's lineup and reducing it to a trio.
