August run begins tomorrow 8/7 + our Sept-Oct tour dates have been announced!

Hey, all!

Hope your summer has been kind so far! Our eight-show run with Crop begins tomorrow, August 7th, and we're very much looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces in the Midwest and Northeast!

We've just announced a September tour with our label mates, Witch Ripper, which will take us to the Western parts of the country, some of which we'll continue to explore past our co-headlining dates with them! We're looking forward to hitting Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Portland on our own. 

And then later in the season, we have some festival appearances! You'll be able to catch us at Wisconsin Doomed & Stoned Festival in Green Bay on October 17th, and then at Wendigo Doom Fest in Knoxville on Halloween!

GET TICKETS HERE

In other news, the first Bandcamp Friday in a while is tomorrow, so check out what we have in our shop post-Europe; we'd be happy to send you some wares! We're running low on BEAR vinyl, and so is the label; if you want a first pressing copy on the green marble, grab one before the record gets pressed in a second colorway! Also, we each have solo offerings worth checking out!

Summer shows start this weekend 7/18 in Louisville, KY!

Friends!

Summer is upon us, and so is our first show of the season! We're heading up the road to Louisville, KY this coming Saturday, July 18th, for Mag Bar Music Fest! We're very much looking forward to throwing down with some friends and fellow heavy rockers. The music starts at 3:15 PM, and we play second-to-last, at 8:30 PM!

Then, on August 7th, we'll kick off our eight-show run with Crop, hitting cities throughout the Midwest, South, and East Coast! Should be a great time. Special note that these will be our only Northeastern stops of 2026.

All dates and corresponding tickets here!

In very summery news, all vinyl orders placed with us during July will include a copy of our second album, BILL! We made that record with our late pal Steve Albini, whose birthday was July 22nd; we like to honor him and our collaboration this time of year. Offer excludes standalone copies of BEAR, as those ship from Magnetic Eye Records and not us, but BEAR bundles are fair game!

Order wares here!

Yesterday marked ONE YEAR of KEEPING SCORE and MELT being in the world! Those two songs, put forth as a dual single, kicked off our release season for BEAR! What a wild year it's been. Thank you for listening! We're stoked to have connected with so many of you, and hope it continues on. If you haven't watched the videos for those tracks yet, enjoy! We had a blast making them.

We hope you're having a great season so far, and we'll see some of you soon!

Summer tour dates & festivals!

Pals!

We're home from Europe and mostly recovered from the tour, travel, and jet lag; we're certainly upright enough to tell you that we had a powerful time over those three and a half weeks! We ended up playing nineteen shows in twenty-three days, across six countries. We gave our very first encore in France, and did seven total on the run. An honor! We also debuted DRIPPING SILVER in a live setting and played it at fifteen of the shows. We ate incredible vegan fare, saw actual castles, met countless people, and in our estimation, had some of our best performances. Huge thanks to all who contributed to the tour's success!

Our Summer tour dates have been announced, many of which are with our friends, Crop! We're hitting Mag Bar Music Fest in Louisville on July 18th with them and many other comrades, and then we're co-headlining an eight-show run together in August! Excited to hit some cities we've somehow never played before. And then we're doing the Magnetic Eye Records showcase at Ripple Fest Texas in Austin on September 20th! Individual line-ups for both festivals have been released, and our dates rip pretty hard, if we do say so ourselves.

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

We're so grateful to have you here with us, and we hope to see as many of you as possible on the road this Summer!

Our first EU tour starts THIS FRIDAY, May 15th!

Friends!

It's finally here! Our first ever European tour begins this Friday night and lasts through June 6th! We fly tomorrow! We're beyond excited to play these eighteen shows across six countries, to meet people we've been communicating with for years in some cases, and to share the new album we're so proud of! Speaking of the music, in addition to our current set, we're thrilled to be debuting one of the songs from BEAR in a live setting on this tour, as well as performing some requests from our past catalog! Should be a great time.

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

We've just created a channel within our Instagram account where we'll be sharing exclusive content from the road; join us over there! And here's a gorgeous write-up about us from RIFF RIOT out of Slovakia ahead of our show in Bratislava on May 25th!

That's really it! Mostly, we're just excited and can't wait to meet all of you! 

See you soon!

Our European tour starts in 3 weeks!

Hello, friends!

We are, at this moment, three weeks out from the first show of our upcoming European tour, which is also a first! Since we last wrote to you, several new dates have been added, including that inaugural event in Mayen, Germany! We're now playing eighteen shows across six countries, and we truly CAN'T WAIT. If we're coming anywhere near you from May 15th to June 6th, please join us at the shows! It's been a years-long goal to do this; unreal that it's almost here!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

In other live news, we're thrilled to announce that we're playing Ripple Fest Texas in September; another first! Details to come, but we know our event is September 20th, so mark your calendars!

The next Bandcamp Friday is one week away, on May 1st! If you desire our singular wares (t-shirts, signed vinyl, handwritten lyrics, books, embroidered patches, and cyanotypes), grab them before we leave for Europe! We won't have all of that with us. We'll only have copies of BEAR and special t-shirts printed in Germany for that tour! Everything is new; everything is exciting. We're grateful.

See you soon!

Two April shows + our updated European tour schedule!

Happy Spring, pals!

We had a powerful time on our February-March tour; thanks so much to everyone who played, worked, hosted us, and came out! We finally debuted DRAIN in a live setting, played outside in a residential neighborhood in Richmond, and even threw down in a motorcycle clubhouse in Savannah. What's not to love?

We have two more shows in the States next month: TN Brew Works in Nashville on April 4th, and Reggie's Music Joint in Chicago on April 10th. And then we head out on our first European tour in May! We're thrilled to share the updated schedule with you, including three new shows in Germany and one in Belgium!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

Thanks for the love around the one-take video for IMPERFECT! We appreciate it!

Last, in fun merch news: we have rad new embroidered logo patches, Buick found eight of the hand-rendered cyanotypes of the MASS album cover, and we have a handful of the BEAR LP + lyrics bundles left. All are on Bandcamp alongside a host of other fun items; enjoy!

See you soon; we love you!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

Also, the brand-new one-take video for IMPERFECT is out everywhere, shot at LCY Media in Birmingham, AL! We had a blast doing this. The song is a favorite of both of ours from the new album, BEAR. It's about mistaking foes for friends and sometimes catching it a little too late. Enjoy!

All dates are below, you rule, and we'll see you so soon!
