🎬 Did you know we filmed all the music videos off our debut album New Language, in one day?

Last August we rented a black box theater with no AC and shot four music videos with help from our friends.

We filmed four different concepts with different lighting and costume changes, and couldn’t have done it without our pals who filmed it all and who managed the entire day.

Here are some behind the scenes pics from it. We loved filming them and hope you enjoy. One more is coming…..stay tuned.

Links in bio.

New video for “Biweekly”, a single off our debut album New Language is out NOW!

We really love this one and our pal Tony Rizzo nailed the concept; working a 9-5, putting your ‘mask’ on and just trying to get through it. Living and working for a paycheck.

Check it out in the link in our bio. Hope you love it as much as we do.

Looking back, 2025 was a very sweet year. We played more shows than we ever have, shot a bunch of music videos with our pal , welcomed new members and and released our debut album New Language on . We’re stoked for what this year has to bring.

Shoutout to for these sweet new shots. This one’s from an alley behind in Norridge.

Huge thanks to for hosting the New Language release show and to Supercorp, Burr Oak, and Sick Day for helping us celebrate.

We spent fall and winter of 2024 demoing and recording our album, New Language, and it’s sweet thinking back on that time at - the many cups of coffee, amazing Indian food, sitting on the black leather couch and listening to our songs over and over.

Many of those songs have had lives of their own that go back much further. Some were voice memos we sent back and forth for years. Some were re-written multiple times. One was finished 2 months before recording.

Thank you to Erik who put in countless hours helping us craft the sound that was in our heads.

Thank you to our brothers, Christian whose drums and heart define the album and Jon whose positivity and immense talent on bass guitar are unmatched. We love you both.

We’ll be playing New Language front to back at Empty Bottle on November 12th. Hope to see you there!
