Since then, the band has released a string of successful original songs including &#8220;Red Hands&#8221; (#1 at AAA), &#8220;Fire In My Soul&#8221; and &#8220;Rule The World&#8221; (both of which went platinum in Canada), sold out venues across the globe and collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the world (Keith Urban, Snoop Dogg &#038; Steve Aoki).
