"It felt like our last album was our ticket into a party," added Domrose. "And now we've shown up to the party the three of us."

The title track All In Now is out now and "just whacks you in the head," said Mailhouse. "Keanu came up with the title for that song too, and it sort of summed up where and who we are as a band today. It just feels true to us. We're leaning in, and we are going to keep going."

"And this is a good song to lean into," Reeves agreed "so, we really are all in now."

However, he's focused on touring with Dogstar too and is set to kick off a run of US shows on May 28 in cities including Austin, Nashville, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and more.

Dogstar lay dormant for 20 years, until the the California trio reunited in 2023 to release their album Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees.

Mailhouse recalled: "Just seeing the smiles on people's faces and feeling their joy on a musical level. Playing some outdoor festivals, and when it starts to rain, seeing nobody leaving."

"Those festivals in Europe really made a big, positive impact on us. We loved playing to people in the afternoon who didn't come to see DOGSTAR but connected with what we were doing. And that connected with us."

Bret said:"You never know if people are going to show up, are they going to stay, are they going to listen? It meant a lot that people not only stayed but got into songs that they mostly had never heard before."
