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!

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.

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!

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!

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,

Happy November, pals!

Huge thanks for all the love around BEAR over these last four weeks, and for coming out to the October shows! We had a blast. We're currently on the road again, starting this new run in Austin tomorrow, November 7th! We're out until the 23rd, covering all kinds of ground in between! Check our dates and we'll see you at a loud rock venue near you.

We have one more video to share with you next week, a special one. We'll be back in touch when it's out, but for now, we can't wait to play the songs from BEAR for you!

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!

Our first shows of the season are tomorrow 9/19 in Pittsburgh PA, and Saturday 9/20  in Youngstown OH! We'll be playing some of the songs from BEAR in front of audiences for the first time - wish us luck! We're also thrilled to share some of the new additions to the Fall touring schedule; are we coming to a city near you? Check the dates below!

BEAR will be here in just three weeks! Unreal, and yet entirely real! If you haven't snagged a copy of the album on transparent green/black marble vinyl, do so before they sell out! We also added a bundle that's exclusive to Bandcamp, with our classic black and white logo shirt by request! Enjoy!

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

With gratitude and appreciation,

October tour dates start Friday, 10/4!

Happy October!

We'll start playing some shows in just a few days, and we'd love to have you there! This month finds us in the Southwest, the West Coast, the Middle Left (is that a term?), and the Midwest, still supporting our album MASS which just turned one year old! We'll also be playing a little from the BILL album in honor of Steve Albini and our July release of his mixes of that project—plus some brand-new work! Join us!

Speaking of new work, we spent some of September in Salem, MA making our fourth LP with Kurt Ballou! Buick still has to sing the album, but the instrumental work has been recorded and we can't wait to share it with you before too long!

Last, to celebrate the second anniversary of her solo album Conversations with My Other Voice, Buick released the audio for her in-studio performance of Simply Said (Live at Sound Emporium). Enjoy!

That's it for today! We appreciate your continued support and will see some of you soon!

We had a killer time there, we're so grateful to be part of what they do—and proud to know that we're the loudest band they've ever recorded! Here are four songs from MASS!

Next up: we're playing some shows! Very soon! Thrilled to be returning to some of our favorite cities in March and April. We'll see you soon, pals in Kansas City, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh!

May we all make noise and stand for justice and equity in this season and beyond. May we all be brave in the face of dominance and harm.

Thank you for being here; let's have a powerful year!

SECOND SINGLE OUT TODAY: "ANYWHERE (FROM THE NAMELESS BRIDE)"

Hello, friends!
First, we hope you are well. It's an intense time to be a person right now and we feel it, too. We live in Nashville which was hit by tornadoes ten days ago. Much of the city is badly damaged, and that's on top of the virus outbreak we're all going through. It's a lot.

Still, the world keeps moving and we're trying to as well. The second single from our forthcoming EP is available everywhere today! Please enjoy "Anywhere (From the Nameless Bride)"! Please follow us on Spotify, and also check out the single premiere on Punk Rock Theory! The full EP, Hold On To Yourself, will be out on April 3rd via Trimming The Shield Records. There are cool limited purple 10" vinyl records, t-shirts just for this release, and custom neckties! Pre-order here!

Engineers on this record were Jerry Roe, Buick Audra, and Zaq Reynolds, with assistant engineering by Matt Luthie. The music was tracked between Fort Knockout and Sound Emporium in Nashville TN. It was mixed by Kurt Ballou at GodCity in Salem MA; Brad Boatright mastered it at Audiosiege in Portland OR.

A note about our upcoming tour dates which are listed below: we are committed to them and plan on seeing them through. We will be monitoring the situation closely, and acting rationally with intelligence, caution, and logic. We're grateful that these venues want to have us, and we understand fully that none of them can withstand the loss of income from show cancellations. We've put a lot of work, time, and money into this release, and are committed to it getting the biggest reach that it possibly can. We're also very aware of the concern and potential danger that this presents. As such, we ask that everyone be safe, responsible, and if you're well and able, come see us.

In the meantime, enjoy the rock music. Share it if you love it! We love and appreciate you.

With profound gratitude,

Buick and Jerry
Friendship Commanders
