Ngl I got most of my pieces of these done when I was taking a social media break and felt a shitton of creative headspace come FLOWING back during that time and that said I think weβre gonna be super inactive online for a while aside from making sure yβall know when our shows are
So far in our demo folder we have:
β’ A song that has metalcore riff verses and huge TSSF-ish choruses
β’ A radio rock-ish song (i.e. Arctic Monkeys or The Strokes) with an oldschool heavy-metal breakdown in it
β’ Creep by Radiohead mixed with Princess Peach by Hot Mulligan
Let it be known that this week Iβll be sending a scratch track of a new song to Joe to write a drum part for, and next week Devβs coming over to demo a separate song. We spent all day Saturday writing and even if it takes a while we do have new stuff in the tank.
Weβll likely be booking less shows this year in favor of creating our next record. Itβs hard to get all 4 of us together in a room for a show in general but writing in a room together from scratch has been so much better for us vs. sending audio files back and forth over weeks.
Logging back in to let yβall know that our Philly show at the Grape Room almost sold out and it ruled. Thank you to everyone who came out early to see us and shoutout to the homies @FRNDCRCL, @altarboypa, and Free The Witness for a great night of music! π

1:1 correlation between me not looking at social media 5-6 hours a day and being able to sit down and focus with my guitar most days and write new music that I actually feel good about
Took a social media break for two weeks and honestly canβt emphasize how great the sudden extra amounts of peace of mind and mental clarity have been. Life without constantly looking at content actually rules. May end up falling back off the grid again soon tbh.
Merchantville thanks so much hanging out with us last night! We had a great time sharing the stage with bands from 3 other states - shoutout to @AnotherOneDown_, @fewfacesband , and @westmainpa for kicking ass and to @rippedvansx for having all of us at Old Post!
