    Hi it me again. i play in a Philly-based band that's been described by a sound guy as 'pixies meets paramore' and our one guitarist was described by that same sound guy 'as Emily Van Halen if she played in Television." so yeah, who really knows. We have the first of three EPs this year coming out in a lil over a month. Two songs are out and we have some videos as well, you can check it all below. Hope you like, and thanks to the three or four folks here who have already been supportive of my BS.

    Nick (our head honcho) insists on only bandcamp for these ones for the time being. That may change but oddly we’re making more money and getting more listens than we ever have on Spotify/AM. Every month from Apple Music I get an email breaking down our stats and it’s like “you’re up 600% from last month!” And we have 6 plays instead of zero lmao.

    Also it really means a lot that you like it or at least just tell me you do. Haha. Hoping we level up slightly with these next couple releases, got a 6-week tour planned that MAY actually happen this summer...we’ll see

    Better Now sounds like if Kim Wilde made a post-punk indie rock record in the 80s and I'm really feeling it

    Working in a collaborative capacity with Dave Vettraino from the Hecks (he produced or engineered the new Dehd/Deeper/Melkbelly records) for EP2. He’s going to mix and master but we wanted his creative input as well so as of today we’ve sent over the mostly finished tracks to get his opinion. Super thrilled to have another, more objective hand in the pot for this go around.

    Also I have been a fan of all this project’s music and think the EP we just put out rocks but these next four songs are the first four REALLY written collaboratively and I genuinely think they fucking rule. I can’t wait for people to hear them. There’s a metal track, a baroque tune, and some drone-y repetitive moments too. We stretched out on these four and forced ourselves to figure out how to write full songs based on specific weird whims we had
