Our Fall tour dates begin today 9/17!

Friends!

Our Fall tour dates are upon us, kicking off tonight, September 17th, in Kansas City! You coming?

The first string of shows is with our Magnetic Eye Records label mates, Witch Ripper, including our appearance at RippleFest Texas on Sunday, the 20th! For those who have inquired, our set time is 8 PM that day. That whole event will rip. Beyond those co-headlining dates, we have four West Coast shows on our own!

Later in the season, we've added a show in Tolono, IL on October 16th, and then we're at Doomed & Stoned Festival in Green Bay on October 17th, and Wendigo Doom Fest in Knoxville on Halloween! Check below for the complete list!

GET TICKETS HERE

We're coming up on the first anniversary of BEAR being in the world, and we'll have much to say at that October milestone, but for now, thank you for listening! The album-themed shirts that we have left will be at the upcoming shows and won't be reprinted. Grab what we have left if you see your size!

You're the best, see you on the road!

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.

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!

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!

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!

We're heading to Europe this Spring! But first, the Southeast next month!

Hello and happy new year, friends!
While 2026 is off to an intense start at best, we're still looking forward to getting out and being loud in February and beyond! Our co-headlining tour dates with Temptress kick off on the 18th, and there has been one noteworthy change: February 25th will now find us in Miami as opposed to Jensen Beach, FL. Miami is Buick's hometown, and not only have we never played there, she's never played there. Momentous occasion! We've also added a Chicago show to our solo dates in April! We'll see you pals in one of our favorite cities on the 10th.

AND THEN: Europe! Our first time! Thrilled to announce our May-June dates, starting in the Netherlands and ending in Luxembourg! Assorted shows in Germany, France, and Slovakia in between. We truly can't wait. We've been working toward this for what feels like an eternity. And finally, here we come!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

In physical media news, we have all shirt sizes back in stock for our BEAR vinyl bundles on Bandcamp! The next Bandcamp Friday is February 6th, but it's always a good time to buy music from artists! In recognition of our first album DAVE turning a full decade old on February 12th, all vinyl orders between now and the end of February will include a free copy of that record on black 12" vinyl! 

Thank you for being here, and we'll see you next month and beyond!

In solidarity and resistance to all abuses of power, always,

Huge thanks for 2025!🌿

Dear friends:

A quick note to thank you for your time, attention, and support all throughout 2025! It's a been a huge year for us. We signed to Magnetic Eye Records, released our fourth album BEAR—from which we put forth seven singles with corresponding music videos, toured both coasts and a bunch in the middle, and were able to connect with new and old friends alike. Thank you. Without you, it's a one-sided conversation; we appreciate you being on the other end of the line!

As much as we're reflecting on all that has happened in 2025, our sights are already set on 2026! We're thrilled to share the details of our first shows of the year, a co-headlining tour with our pals in Temptress, as well as a Nashville show in April! All dates below. Mark your calendars, and we'll be sure to see some of you soon.

Thank you again, truly, and happy holidays!

All our best,
Buick Audra & Jerry Roe,

Bandcamp Friday today & we have new offerings for you!🌿

Friends!

Today is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year and we've added some new things for the occasion, like handwritten lyrics to the songs from BEAR, rendered by Buick Audra! Available bundled with vinyl or as standalone offerings. We've also added our remaining shirts to the vinyl bundles! You sold us out of the CD bundles and album cover shirts (thank you!), but if you're looking for LPs, logo t-shirts, lyrics, and pins, we've got you covered! We'll even gift wrap items for you if you request it at the time of purchase. Just shoot us a note!

We're still reeling from the incredible time we had on tour these past couple months. The November leg was such a powerful stretch for us, thank you for making it so!

DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS video & essay out today!🌿

Dear friends,
Today, we bring you the seventh video from our new album, BEAR: DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS. This is the closing track on the record; part brutal observation, part wish for something better. Buick wrote the song months after learning about the death of Reena Virk, a fourteen-year-old Canadian girl who was killed by her peers in 1997. The story didn't leave Buick's mind, so she put it in this song along with her own adolescent experiences with violence, rejection, and displacement. The video is premiering at Metal Epidemic, and Buick has also written an essay for Atwood Magazine, expanding on the subject matter. 

We have chosen to release this work today, November 14th, because it is the anniversary of Reena's death. We offer this up with respect, care, and mindfulness.

The video, directed, shot, and edited by Jerry Roe, is a meditation on loss, remembrance, and being engulfed by water. We hope the music, imagery, and message all connect with you.

We also have two new interviews to share with you today! We discussed all things BEAR and beyond with Bob and Frizz of the Rhythm on the Rocks Podcast, out this week! In addition, Buick is this week's guest on the Pursuing the Muse Podcast, on which she talked with Tom Compton about releasing her solo album ADULT CHILD as well as BEAR in 2025, among other things related to her creative process! Enjoy both!

We're out here on the road, enjoying every minute of this tour! Our remaining 2025 dates take us through several cities in California, the Pacific Northwest, and a final show in Laramie! Check our upcoming stops and we'll see you soon!

We hope you love DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS. Please know how much we appreciate your time, attention, and presence here.

Check our dates and we'll see you at a loud rock venue near you.

Our new album BEAR is out today!🌿

It's here, friends!

We're beyond thrilled to share our fourth album, BEAR, with you today! A project about belonging, being an outsider, and embracing the margins. It’s yours now, and we hope you love it as much as we do! 

We co-produced it with our friend Kurt Ballou, who also recorded the instrumental performances and mixed the project! Vocals were recorded by Buick Audra, and additional engineering was done by Jerry Roe. Zack Weeks assisted at GodCity, and Brad Boatright mastered. A bear. We're so proud.

We made a video for the newest single, DRAIN, which you can watch here!

If you're interested in any of the press surrounding BEAR, we were just featured in SPIN, and here's a conversation we had with Jedd Beaudoin for his NPR / KMUW podcast, Into Music!

FOUND single & video out today! Shows this weekend, & more Fall tour dates added!🌿

 Happy September, friends!

We're proud to share FOUND with you today, the newest single from our forthcoming album, BEAR! FOUND is a song about finding oneself, one's art, and the art of others—and also discovering true sense of belonging within those places. It's a song about hope on an album that also asks some heavy questions. It reminds us: when unsure, make work.

The video was directed and edited by Jerry Roe, and shot by Jarad Clement and Jerry Roe with additional footage contributed by Buick Audra and Travis Nicholson. It features some of our favorite spaces where art grows and thrives. Read more about it in the premiere over at CVLT Nation!

It's almost here, friends. We hope you love FOUND as much as we do!

With gratitude and appreciation,

Buick & Jerry, FC

MIDHEAVEN video premiering today! Fall tour dates announced!🌿

Happy end of Summer, friends!

Today we bring you two pieces of good news! The first, is the release of the official video for MIDHEAVEN, the second half of the dual single we dropped two weeks ago, X / MIDHEAVEN! It's premiering in Metal Injection today! The video was directed and edited by Jerry Roe, and shot by Craig Hill and Jerry Roe. We're especially proud of the single shot performance in the instrumental bridge! This is truly as close as we get to playing sports, pals. Musically, this is one of our heaviest songs to date.

MIDHEAVEN gets into this idea of being born under a certain set of stars, and whether or not it has anything to do with who we are—and questions those who claim to know the answer. The song is part of the larger conversation around belonging, identity, and influence contained within the tracks of our new album BEAR, coming October 10th on Magnetic Eye Records! Last Summer, seemingly everywhere Buick Audra turned, modern astrologers were predicting doom for the month of August. And so, she wrote a song about what it might be like to blame all things on the sky, both internally and externally. MIDHEAVEN is that song!

The second piece of great news is that we're going on tour! Of course we are. We're so happy to be able to share this first batch of dates supporting the new record! The two September shows will see us playing select songs from it before it's out! Hope to see many of you out there!

We're now six weeks out from the release of BEAR, and while we can't wait for you to hear the whole thing, we're so enjoying sharing pieces of it with you along the way. Thank you for being here for all of it! Enjoy the video for MIDHEAVEN!

X / MIDHEAVEN dual single out today! New video for X also premiering!🌿

Hey, friends!
We hope you're doing well!

First, we want to thank everyone who has already pre-ordered our forthcoming album, BEAR, coming October 10th on Magnetic Eye Records! Also, thanks to all who have listened to, watched, shared, and interacted with us about the first two singles, KEEPING SCORE and MELT! So glad the new work is connecting.

We're back today with another dual single, X / MIDHEAVEN! In the tradition of the first tracks released from the project, we're giving you some sugar and salt together with this new pair. The album has two sides, and these songs firmly represent each of them. Buick Audra wrote X fewer than six weeks after our friend and collaborator Steve Albini passed; she wrote it while grieving and also observing the lost generation grieve in the singular ways they do. It is a loving nod to Gen X and their genius contributions to art and culture. The video for X, directed and edited by Jerry Roe, is also premiering today alongside the two tracks; all can be found in this great piece in Everything Is Noise! And that camera Buick is shooting in the second verse? Steve's.

At the other end of the spectrum, MIDHEAVEN explores the idea of nature vs. nurture, and whether one can attribute personality and behavioral traits to astrological placements. BEAR is an album about belonging, and these tracks offer different lenses through which to view the subject; one is a more intimate perspective while the other goes wide. We hope you love them both!

If you haven't yet pre-ordered a beautiful green/black marbled vinyl copy of BEAR, we've added a new set of merch offerings! There's now a black and white album cover shirt as well as a bundle including that shirt design - both are limited edition. Grab them while they still exist!

If you'd like to read a thoughtful interview with us about the album and KEEPING SCORE / MELT, there's a brand-new one in Mundane Magazine! So grateful to be asked about the new work.

It's a big time, friends. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. We hope the new songs make you feel known, bold, and brave.  Enjoy!
Buick & Jerry, FC
