A Band from Providence & Brooklyn. New album “Wasteland Baby” Out Now on Exploding In Sound Records
Hey there! We’ve decided to take our music off Spotify. Just really don’t feel comfortable with their practices. Honestly I think they might be evil. We’re still on other streaming platforms and bandcamp. Thank you everyone who has listened to us in any other way!!!

“Wasteland Baby” is one year old today! The songwriting was sparked from my fears of becoming a parent in this grim world, and our actual baby is going to born any day now. Crazy coincidence I guess. Still scared but so happy to be part of this.

It’s bandcamp Friday today. We don’t have any merch up anymore but we still have records that can ship via Exploding In Sound Records and plenty of albums for download including two collections (“Broken Songs” & “Lite”) that are not available on Spotify. Thanks!

LAST CHANCE TO SNAG SOME MERCH! All shirts, cds & tapes are coming off bandcamp after Sunday. Don’t think I’ll be able to fulfill any orders for a good long while with a brand new baby to take care of! Vinyl will still available through Exploding In Sound Records

Just developed a roll film from last year while we were making the “A Functional Earth” video with Pat and Kieran. Was a real fun time.

We still got a bandcamp sale up until September 1st! Everything is coming down after that! Thanks!

Did some more doodles for orders. First person to order on bandcamp and leave the comment in the messages “I know you are but what am I?” will get this Pee Wee doodle. Sale continues for the rest of the month but doodles end after Sunday. Thanks!!

Big thanks for all the kind words we received after I posted the original photos from Wasteland Baby. Really warms my heart. I’ve taken photos for most of our records. I know I’m no pro but maybe reach out if you need a photos for your record and I’ll give it a crack!

Stumbled across the original photo I took for “Wasteland Baby”. Took it down the street from our home in Cranston, Rhode Island. I used a Holga 120 medium camera. I know this is pretty late to be sharing this, but I just found it and thought “hey maybe somebody might find this nifty”. Take care

Some super rad photos from Zoe Hopper of our last Boston show! Already miss it. Maybe we could play a Bar Mitzfah or Wedding in a couple years? Leftover merch is up on bandcamp. Snag a shirt. Really helps us out!

TOUR LEFTOVERS ARE UP ON BANDCAMP NOW! Got plenty shirts from our final tour up as well as a few other stragglers.

Yo Boston!!! The show tonight moved from Crystal Ballroom to @the4thwallbos . It’s the capital theater in Arlington if you didn’t know. Tonight will be our last ever show in Boston. We’ll prove that we were the best band from Boston named after a guy with a beard.
