“Automatic” and “Diamond Dreams” are from the Dallas, Texas-based band’s debut EP which will be released September 2, 2016 on Fervent Records. Produced by Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Ben Rector, The Lone Bellow) and recorded in Nashville’s Blackbird Studios, the seven-song collection is a harmonies-driven vocal showcase anchored by three powerhouse singers who take turns taking lead and know exactly when to share the spotlight. 
 
“It's hard to fit our music into a category, and I'm okay with that,” says Jackie. “I feel like the way we do this together is really unique because we each write on every song, so each song has part of each of us. We listen to very different music, and I think we capture that variety of music in collaborating together.”
 
“Diamond Dreams” introduces an exciting new chapter for the Castros, who have earned millions of fans individually on strong solo efforts. Jackie has been performing since she was just 5 years old, while Jason, the oldest, became a favorite of judges and viewers alike on season 7 of American Idol, where he placed fourth. Jason went on to record acclaimed projects, while Michael surprised his brother and wowed the entire country when he auditioned for Idol the following season, charmed audiences, and began releasing his own EPs.
