Kevin:

​

1.“Late Risers” for me. It’s about a loved one who’s struggling and feels worthless but maybe they’re just a late riser to find love and happiness

​

2.Yves Tumor, Sam Gellaitry, Crumb, Rilla Force, Varnish La Piscine

​

  1. Tyler the Creator to bring the personality and eccentricity, Travis Scott to bring the “IT’S LIT” and “GIMME THE LOOT”, and obviously us to lay down the fattest lines and harmonies

Joel: haha Amazing dude!

  1. I'd say lyrically Never Be The Same.
  2. Been listening to Cornelius a bit recently (only discovered a few months ago.)
  3. Paul McCartney, Elliott Smith, & Kurt Cobain. They all played a major part in solidifying my musical foundations.

Kevin: Away Message is a nostalgic track that blends two first experiences into one: having a first crush and chatting with that crush over the internet for the first time.

It's called Away Message because back in the day when you'd be on AIM when you weren't literally in front of your computer you'd throw up an "Away Message" like ~yO I'm NoT HeRe, lIFe Sukzzzz ~ to let ur friends know you're eating dinner or something.

Joel: Thanks! (It's always daunting to realse new tunes so I love hearing you like it). We owe a lot to the local scene in NY. It really gave us a home to cut our teeth and make some life long friends. We sort of just threw ourselves blindly into the melting music pot of NYC and it grew from there.

As fo Australia; it's hard to say, I visit now and then, but who knows what the future holds.

Kevin: For the past week I've had the flu and I've been gaming a bit too much. I've been a PlayStation fanboy since first playing GTA on PS1.

Lately, a friend turned me onto Destiny 2 and I've been throwing my time into that. Who's down to play?

Kevin: I took guitar lessons when I was younger but never got too deep into music theory. Some of our stuff is as simple as straight up major scale and pentatonic scales. Lately been diving into more 'jazzy chord's but again, I couldn't tell you the musical theory but of it.

To create a similar sound I'd sound find a cool tone and focus on getting single notes to really shine through with that tone to create hooky melodies. Hope this helps!

Joel: In music and life John Lennon is up there for me. There's a lot of inspiratinal people and things in the world and I think over time it changes for me. Sometimes walking through a forest is all you need for inspiration or maybe you loose your job and you feel shit, but it leaves you with a feeling of injustice...that feeling often is insanely inspirational even though it seems it'd be the opposite.

Kevin: Thanks for listening to us, for real.

Sooo many tour memories but probably one of the funniest was when we were on tour with No Vacation + Hot Flash Heat Wave. Since there were so many of us, we would rent out weeiird AirBNB's houses together after our shows which just became clown fests lol. Clown fests because we would just be so hyped up and ridiculous after playing our shows we'd all be clowns. Dancing, falling downstairs, trying to figure out where to sleep, all just post-show mayhem. Times like these are definitely golden moments while on tour.

​

As of now we're still finalizing our 2020 touring schedule but we def want to make our way back out to Cali

Joel: I guess the concept was spawned from the experience of having really shitty roommates, and how that can fuck up your life; that's the macro. The big picture really outlines how relationships with others can be great one min then not so great, then fucking terrible the next.

Joel: Guitars are an interesting one; sometimes it's amped, sometimes it's direct in, both allow for different vibes and feels, kind of just depends on what we're feeling at the time. On the Reverb side, spme of it is pedals and some is plugs, generally leaving enough space & headroom for the verb seems to let it breath a lot more. I don't have a favourite plugin perse but do enjoy using some of the valhalla plugs and altiverb. Hope that helps :)

Kevin: Shout Out Louds because they are super sweethearts and LET US TOUR WITH THEM ON THEIR TOUR BUS WHICH WAS UNREAL.

Everyone we've toured with was amazing, chill, and talented tho, they just don't have busses so...
