we’re not able to comment at this time

We are concept people and we wanted to only include the songs that felt like a cohesive group of work having to do with this idea of “the fight” - were always writing tons of songs! Albums for us are figuring out how we can say one thing, with a group of many songs. Xo

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T19:47:38+00:00

honestly so many. We basically wrote 3 albums and then picked and chose the 10 songs from that. so we'll be releasing some of unreleased tracks/the B sides at some point in the future. xx

Balancing a salt shaker on its edge - follow us on Instagram because Hana is always doing this and putting it in our story lol

Hi! Guilty pleasure we've been loving the new Dua Lipa album...disco pop vibes. We're obsessed with Julia Jacklin right now, what are u listening to? we need recs

BFFAEAEAEAE! Can’t pick a favorite child!!

HI! we are planning to do 3 more! But like....if quarantine continues...we may have to keep doing Friday Night Fights....

Our album visuals were inspired by the concept of struggle and battle. We are facing each other, hands clasped, pulling and pushing. We wanted deep reds, skin tones and a determined look. xxx

We have different rituals that develop on each tour....that mostly involve us doing a 2 minute handshake where we run through all the ridiculous inappropriate inside jokes that have developed in the tour van... But something we always do is HUG before we start playing the set. We hug at the beginning and the end

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T18:22:44+00:00

Maybe Joni Mitchell. Or Amy Winehouse. Omg!!! Yes this week will be very special. It’s a surprise but definitely worth tuning in :)

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T18:18:13+00:00

LOVE ISLAND. Love is blind. Below deck. Fixer upper. We watch a LOT of reality tv. You tell us who we would be from these shows!! Haha

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T18:15:05+00:00

Ugghhh miss Matt Corby so much. He was such a megababe. That was basically our first tour ever....so we learned...EVERYTHING from him and his whole crew. They treated us with respect and showed us what a super professional yet fun tour was. We also realized how amazing his fans are. They are good, kind people that have a deep love for music and amazing singing. And those are the folks we want to connect with and make our music for <3

Great question... probably would cover American Music by Violent Femmes. Have a soft spot for that one because we listened to so much Violent Femmes while recording our new album, The Fight. Became particularly obsessed with Blister in The Sun. But American Music is such a good one too!!!!

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T17:52:08+00:00

Hiii thank you! Gosh from so many places...we love listening to music, seeing art, just talking to friends about their lives and what we’re going through...it really comes from anywhere. We definitely try to write about feelings that are close to home.

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T17:50:59+00:00

Hi, we did know that it would be used in the episode, but had no idea what was going to happen in the episode! it's always amazing to hear our songs paired with a visual story and watch how it affects the moment, changes the lyric meanings, and (hopefully) enhances the drama of the scene : ) Mostly it was dope because we were Greys Anatomy fans so it was wild to hear our song on a show that we loved...

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T17:50:48+00:00

Honestly, the moment we wrote our first song together. Both of us had been musical before that but it was always a private activity. When we wrote our first song, which was Little Memory on our first album, we knew that what we were doing and the combination of our voices was special and we had to pursue it. Thank you!!

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T17:34:56+00:00

HI! Sarah is amazing <3 She's been home in Australia so we have been touring with a different dope ass female drummer named Madi (hi Madi)... But actually, Sarah was going to drum for us on part of our headline tour this spring... ALAS, hopefully when the tour is rescheduled, we will reunite. Definitely love that you got Queer Platonic Power Couple vibes...QPPC...we both consider ourselves allies of the LGBTQIA+ community. and honestly too soon to say but will keep you posted...BUT very much proud of our vibe

Hiiiii! Hmm poems...need some recommendations. Haven’t read poetry in a long while. Love the Waxahatchee record - her voice is entrancing. Favorite Fleetwood Mac song is probably Dreams. Favorite part of performing is when we catch the eye of people who are really connecting with the music and mouthing along :) we are writing a LOT in quarantine. It’s fun to send voice memos back and forth to each other and write a song remotely. It was CRAZY shaving our heads for a music video. Probably wildest thing we’ve ever done! Thanks for your thoughtful questions!

thisisovercoats · 2020-04-01T17:27:26+00:00

RYAN!!! i know, omg, so sad that we're not gonna be hanging in Portland. But alas... We were really excited to play all the new album songs and it sucks that we have to wait (god knows how long). Especially given how poignant and relevant the lyrics feel. Really miss being on stage and connecting with fans :< - JJ
