Happy anniversary to the mouse-t cute, sweet and kind person in the whole wide world! 🐁 From our first date at the conservatory, our second at a library, our third on my sofa three days post wisdom tooth surgery (I was heavily sedated), and every day since. You are my precious 宝贝 and you make me the luckiest ladybug alive 🐞❤️ by @benpagani

Joyce Manor was luckily able to play in Chicago last night !! // Singer Barry Johnson regrettably postponed two recent shows after he suffered a vocal cord injury // The crowd screamed (and crowd surfed) along to a set that spanned the band’s 15 year career // The new album ‘I Used to Go to This Bar’ is out now // There are plenty more Joyce Manor dates coming up this spring 🌸🐀

Happy birthday to the one I love most @lilacexhaustion !! I’m glad you accepted the makeshift bouquet I made you in the back garden at Garfield Park Conservatory on our first date. You are my greatest dream and I hope you feel celebrated today. I have big parrot mosaic heart eyes for you. You’re filled with magic and I know you always will be. I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY 亲爱的 🌟💙 by @benpagani

Smut’s new album ‘Tomorrow Comes Crashing’ is out Friday, June 27 on @bayonetrecords // We took these pictures three weeks ago when wildfire smoke made Midwest skies orange and the air hard to breathe // The band had just returned from performing with Wishy at Detroit’s Lager House for one night only // We talked DIY scenes in Ohio, New Jersey and California, plus the wedding that made ‘Tomorrow Comes Crashing.’

This is a new feature story I’ve written for @btsmag // Thanks to @smut.online for hanging // Listen to their record and catch the album release show at @lh_schubas Schubas on July 5 😈💥 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @benpagani
