We’ve been a little quiet lately but that’s because we’ve been writing lots of new music.. 🤍 Here’s an acoustic snippet of a new song called “The Devil Himself.”

She holds a silver phone with a rugged case in her left hand, posing confidently with a slight tilt of her head and a hand on her hip. Behind her, a bulletin board cluttered with music event flyers and stickers adds to the grungy, rock-and-roll vibe of the scene.

Hung out at The Power House in LA Weds night for a couple of drinks and to watch our friend The Fist perform a solo set #bandlife #pirates #hollywood #aboutlastnight #beer #goodtimes #musicsky #musiciansky
Same two people at the bar under intense red lighting. The woman glances sideways with a concerned or surprised expression, while the man, wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball cap, looks down at the table, partially hidden by the brim of his hat. Warm bar lights hang from a wooden ceiling in the background. Two people sit at a dimly lit bar with dramatic red lighting. The woman in the foreground looks into the camera with a neutral expression, while the man beside her, wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates cap, drinks from a glass. The ceiling above is wooden with hanging lights.

Been seeing this billboard for "Drop" all over LA recently and I was just saying how it reminded me of an old Argento poster.

Kyle Mortensen from Esat of June, wearing a black cap and a t-shirt with tattoos on his arms, stands in front of a framed black-and-white photo of legendary guitarist Jimmy Page playing his Les Paul electric guitar. He points at the guitarist with both hands, making a playful, intense expression that shows admiration for the iconic musician. Kyle Mortensen from East of June, wearing a black leather jacket and a beanie, leans against the exterior wall of a psychic shop at night. The neon sign in the window reads "Psychic" in red and white, surrounded by crystals, candles, and spiritual artifacts inside. The dim glow of the sign casts a moody, mysterious atmosphere.

* WAIT FOR IT * Smidge slayed the MF dragon on this tune! 🔥🐉🤘🏻 We rewrote the final chorus lyric and melody on the fly.
