FERAL was released 2 years ago today!

Two years ago we were in London at New Cross Inn for the release of LP3. Weird that we’ve already been back to the UK since then! This album helped solidify our sound, with a more guitar-heavy attack and Baz taking the lead songwriting. These songs are still a blast to play live. We’ve played every song except two on this album. Maybe one day for an anniversary show we’ll play this one front to back.

7:30pm at the Glass House in Pomona tonight, opening for @lessthanjake with @halfpasttwoska! Sometimes the venue website can be confusing and it looks like doors are at that time, but doors are at 6:30! Arrive early, let’s do the thing. Here’s a few videos from last time we were at in Pomona at the end of 2024. Hell yeah. I ate a vegan Crunchwrap, churros and a California burrito last night and fell asleep with the lights on, my jeans on, and a tummy ache. I feel good now tho! Let’s rip it.

2025 was an overwhelmingly busy year in both the absolute best and at times worst ways. From touring all over the US and Japan with some of my closest friends, sometimes playing in multiple bands a night, to some of the toughest times I have ever experienced.

This last year was the most I have ever gotten to tour, and I will never forget the memories made on the road this year. I learned so many new songs and different set lists(as well as life lessons) and really pushed myself to see if I could memorize three different cover sets for one show.

I also lost some really close friends and family this year. Their absence will always be felt, and I'll cherish the memories I have of our times together.

Keep your loved ones close and make sure they know how much they mean to you. Looking forward to more adventures this year and good times.

Much love 🖤

Very grateful to all my photographer friends!!

2025 Recap! We had the best year ever. 3 full tours, 5 hometown shows, we released 4 songs, performed at Wake and Bake, Punk Rock Bowling, Doll Fest, FEST and Japan and… we had FUN! I wish I could post even more photos because we have so many.

We feel so lucky to get to make music with our friends all over the world. Thank you to @badtimerec @mustard_plug @voodooglowskulls @killlincolndc @0mnig0ne @lessthanjake @skatsunemiku @exponentialbooking @chaselongbeach @msfxproductions @chudson.band @catbiteband @hellbeachband @ih.rips @punkrocksaveslives @dollfest @tinystills @millingtontheband, @historyoflaska all of the incredible bands in Japan like @thesensations_ @frail_brasscore @notso_hardwork @fivestatedrive @theoldtones and so many more… and I’m sure I wasn’t able to mention them all but thank you to all of the other bands we met and played with, and we hope we can do it all again.

Bring on 2026, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And with that, it's already that time of year to take a moment for reflection! 2025...

What a year. In many ways good, but also in a lot of ways incredibly challenging. Honestly, this year flew by, and trying to live in the moment was an arduous task. This year will definitely be one to remember; that is for sure. 🎶✨️

To start, this year I was fortunate to be able to experience a lot of new experiences. Travel was probably the theme of the year, whether it be traveling to Maine with my beautiful spouse for our Honeymoon (absolutely beautiful ❤️🦞🌊) or playing around the WORLD at this point with Half Past Two and The Ruffolos @halfpasttwoska @ruffolosoldiers ... one of the highlights for sure being able to experience and perform in Japan!! 🇯🇵🔥🎶 honestly a life-changing experience; it was incredible getting to meet the people of Japan and experience such a beautiful country with such a beautiful culture and people. I really hope to have the chance to go back again 🇯🇵🔥🎶🤍❤️

Overall this year had a lot of highs for my musical endeavors in general, with both myself, the bands I'm in, and with my music students. My students are my pride and joy, though this is where I have a fire burning inside of me that I want to work on for 2026.

I am not the most assertive person. And this is something I want to change for 2026. I am tired of being super passive and feeling restrained. I want to really push for being an advocate for not just myself but the people I care about in my life. Whether it be my spouse, my students, my family, or my community. Community is incredibly important, especially in light of the difficult times. I have a voice, and I need and want to use it more.

Next year, I turn 30. This next decade, I want to live my life in a way that is meaningful and fulfilling. Write more music; make time for family and my loved ones. Cheers to the end of the new year; I'm looking forward to trying to live in the present next year. 🎶🔥💜✨️👊🏽
