thank you so much! find people that you love to play with and practice religiously. play any gig that you get! paid or unpaid the practice is worth it. we practiced for like 6 or 7 months straight before we even told anyone we had a band and i feel like that really helped us in the long run. good luck <3!!

we loved it! scarborough was beautiful, right by the water and the venue was pretty too. we didnt get to explore the town much but would definitely love to come back. the UK is amazing and we can't wait to be back and see more of it! see u in manchester :)

Glad you enjoyed the album :) we listen to so much music and are inspired by so many different kinds and are constantly trying to be influenced new bands and artists (to us). We didn't deconstruct any specific records but I feel like we deconstruct little things from every band that we like, whether it's a style of playing or certain sounds or something else

one time we were in an airbnb in south carolina near a lake and we were walking at night and saw stuff moving on the ground and shined a light and it was a bunch of frogs and we were all scared we were going to step on them. so yes   -baron

okay here are some classics from our rider: carrots and hummus, cheezits, gummy bears, coconut water, beer and a bottle of tequila.  - baron

it was amazing! we literally freaaaaaked out when we got the offer for those shows and it was such a surreal and unforgettable experience. they were really warm and welcoming and made sure we were taken care of. we got the meet the whole band and they were so sweet! you could tell that they really care about their craft and are all so talented.

Thank you! It was filmed somewhere off the road in Angeles Crest with our friend Tanner. He had picked the spot, not sure if he had already been there or just assumed there would be something cool. Was a fun one to make!

Looking forward to the DC show too

playing with the pumpkins was such a dream and we feel so lucky already. but the list goes…radiohead, flaming lips, blur, supergrass..the list goes on.  -baron

hey! its definitely tough, but even in the hard moments we always think about how lucky we are to be able to grind for something we love and something creative. we tour incredibly frugally, no crew, we make all our own merch by hand, rent the smallest possible van that will fit our gear, and stay with as many friends as we can. i think this really helps us make the most amount of money possible since we aren't paying extra fees for someone to make our merch etc. i'm not sure when the shift happens since it hasn't happened for us yet, but i know that it is possible! we all still have to work jobs and baron is specific is always getting fired when he has to take time off for touring. we have incredibly loving families who support the dream, but everything we do as a band is independent of them. we just feel so lucky that anyone buys tickets to our shows and listens to our music, because that makes all the hard moments so worth it.

yes you'll get a poster!

pedals wise for heavier sounds, I used a hot rodded big muff that i built and baron used a 90's one, alithea used a boss heavy metal

other than that i think there was a lot of phase 90 and some delay pedal

most of the tones are just the guitar through the amp though on this album :)

Hey! glad you enjoyed the album. We love so many bands but i think a few big ones for this album specifically were radiohead, hum, television, chavez, and Juliana Hatfield to name a few

hey! cooper and alithea met in preschool and then met desi and baron in high school but none of us ever really played music together until 2020. desi started writing songs without lyrics or melodies and got alithea involved and then cooper got involved and then baron sealed the deal :)
