[@Dumboynick]

Edgar is insane my lord. That’s on top of the incredible song writing

[@RuNnInGpAnDa8196]

I just found this band. Love your sound! I can't wait until you guys make it big. The clean vocals mixed with the screamo such a good noise. And the guitar riffs remind me of Dance Gavin Dance. NEVER STOP, PLEASE

The fudge they were in Oakland and I missed this? I'm flying to see them in Tulsa in December lol

[@chubsdoesroids4654]

these dudes are going somewhere, its exciting to catch them on the ground floor , they are currently at 30,000 monthly listeners on spotify, right around where hot mulligan was a few months before they put out their album "You'll be fine" and now hot mulligan is at 900,000 monthly listeners, I see these guys having a very similar trajectory.

[@ryanlarrabee9811]

They're just too polished and good to not make it

[@MrJericho1100]

​@@ryanlarrabee9811it's funny looking at this now that they're going on tour with hot mulligan, got my tickets and can't wait to see them

[@saephon3988]

I'm right there with you. I'm an old emo fuck, born in the 80s, and I remember hearing Hot Mulligan for the first time shortly after Opportunities came out, and I knew it'd be something.
This band is gonna be something. It has that perfect blend of math rock and 2000's screamo (scramz lmao) to it that we've weirdly been lacking in the past decade. I have tickets for the Mully, Spanish Love Songs, Heart Attack Man tour with them in December. So stoked.

[@bmsSumner]

Absolutely

[@savos7179]

so good

[@stuartbixby]

I'd love to catch these guys near central illinois. Unreal band. Come open for a metalcore or deathcore band.
