The Magnitude of the Situation, Street Party's second album is great collection of rock songs that make it clear the influences of the writers and the roots they share. Kelly, Chris, and Jeff began work on this new album in late 2012, rehearsing songs that Kelly had ready for the group at that point. In March of 2013 the guys went into the studio to track 7 songs, including one Chris had penned, and also a Neil Young cover that had been a part of their repertoire from the beginning. Work was completed in the studio and it was then that Kelly completed work on what would become the title track and they returned to the studio to record the final track, The Magnitude of the Situation. 2014 looks to be a promising year for Street Party, with a full slate of touring in support of this new album and continuing to grow their fan base.
