We are a five piece alternative pop band dedicated to catchy hooks, curious sounds, and large living. Our sound is centered around the vocal harmonies of Drew Swartz and Sophie Delay, supplemented by driving drum beats and rolling basslines that have equal footing in 60’s style pop and diy punk. Ranging from rootsy folk to full blown rock n roll, our sets span a wide variety of styles while remaining consistent with our vision of high energy original music. We are deeply rooted in visual art, printmaking, and zines!! So we’re more than happy to whip up a flyer if called upon.
