Dear Friends and Fans,

Our new single, “Don’t Give Up Yet,” is here!

We recorded the basic tracks in August of 2025, when Dan brought us a song he had started writing “for a friend who was going through a terrible chapter.” By the time we reconvened to finish it in March of 2026, Dan realized “the song was about something else, too — the fight against the dark philosophy that has stormed our country, our institutions, our freedom, our peace.” That fight was taking place on the streets of the city where we were recording, Minneapolis.

Whether you are facing struggles in your personal life or fighting to protect your neighbors and make a better world, we hope this song offers you encouragement and hope. “You’re still not alone, so don’t give up yet!”

You can save the song on your favorite streaming platform at the link in our bio.

All best,

Dan, John, and Jake

Our new single, “Don’t Give Up Yet,” was inspired by people determined to hang on through the worst circumstances. Some of those people were on their own, and some of them were members of a larger community, but all of them had to find a resilience they didn’t know they had in order to keep going.

John on “Don’t Give Up Yet”: Being able to record music and sing music, I feel like that’s my own way of never giving up and hanging in there.

Dan on writing lyrics for “Don’t Give Up Yet” - “I realized that maybe that song has more meanings than I thought. That’s when I started writing lyrics in earnest, when I realized I needed to have something to sing for the ICE Out rally. And that’s when ‘Don’t Give Up Yet’ turned from something very personal to something much more public.”
