On July 8, 2014 TRS released their debut album, "Shadows", via StandBy Records with music videos for "Savage Eyes" and "One More Yesterday" . During this time, the band had a lineup change and welcomed Ray Miller to the group along with Alex Foxx replacing Tyler Gloyd on Drums. This would be the lineup for their next tour, in which TRS would be direct support on The Dead Rabbitts’ - "The Shapeshiftour".
