Their debut record “you secretly want me dead” is bcnr-ants from up there adjacent that displays simple adolescent insecurities and life lessons. If you are into emo music you have probably heard it and would like it but even from a singer songwriter standpoint it is inspirational instrumentally and lyrically.

Two things. All of my peers make music, but rarely do any of their songs make it into my listening catalog. Also, I hate emo. The Branching Out EP may have changed that? This EP takes the things about emo that turned me off and turns me on to them. Lyrics devoid of individualism, *riffs*, and fun vibes. This was made by a BAND who’s having fun and I’m having fun with them. It makes you want to go to a show again. The words are so stupid yet comforting, the musicianship indulgent but exciting, the affect emo with a 1/4 cup of hope. It’s self taught musicians cosplaying the Berklee School of Music School of Music but without the chord sheets or pretension. Track titles such as Vampire Vibes, Confessions of an Aries, and This Wasn’t On My Planner display a finger on the pulse ironic sincerity that actually works for once. It’s about heartbreak, being nervous, having a crush, and wanting to die. Perfect for my little brothers friend/ex pupil of mine from my time as counselor at a rock n’ roll music camp located in the basement of the church in my suburb who attended their EP release show in New York. I think this appeals to 16 year old life noobs, 20 something year old haters like myself, and even the chicks. I could listen to them whine all day.

Really raw midwest emo song that comes out of the gate swinging. The vocals might not be for everyone but I find that they really cut through things. Love the drum sound too.
Also love that they were from Sandown NH, really small town somewhat near where I grew up in MA. Had a friend that lived in Sandown growing up but she went to my HS because her dad worked at the school.

if you like the emo pop punk side of things, but not in a guy-punching-a-hole-in-drywall-for-no-reason sort of way, i strongly urge you to check this one out! been keeping up w these guys for a few years now and they have truly found the balance between “this riff fucks” and “this melody is so fun”. plus, they’ve really grown as songwriters in comparison to their earlier work. emo fall is upon us, friends, but this time we’re slipping into angst laced with fun.

Just had cold espresso coffee. Tasted like shit but when you drink the sparkling water after taking a sip, that taste washes away and you are cracked. Would recommend also felt so italian.
