School of Design’s debut at @badearl. It was absolutely perfect. ✨

I’m not even blowing smoke, what a GREAT debut show from @schoolofdesignband I knew they were going to be good but damn, they were TIGHT AF.

Sam’s stage persona and voice were perfectly moody and endearing. The guitar solos: A++, bass attitude dialed IN (that amp jump tho 🤘🏻), rhythm guitar held it the fuck down and the drums were unrelentingly driving with unique fills.

Very impressed and very excited to see what they continue to do ✨. Congrats y’all.

I find myself pretty damn humbled standing on this stage for the first time ever tonight to play with my good friends in @schoolofdesignband. The amount of bands I've seen here that i love and respect makes it hard to grasp that I'm about to perform in the same space. Thank you to the @widow100s and @badearl for the opportunity, and thank you so much to all of our friends that have boosted us up and supported us. My heart is full ❤️

Tame Impala and Djo at State Farm Arena on 7/12/26. This was my second time seeing Tame Impala, both times at State Farm Arena, and both shows were fantastic, but this most recent one was particularly spectacular! Djo, who you may know as Steve from Stranger Things, opened for him, and I enjoyed his set as well!

As we begin tracking our next batch of songs (drum tracks going to tape as I type), here’s a few snaps of us in the studio recording our first two singles.

We head to @standardelectricrecordersco next week to finish the next three rippers we’ve written and let @damonmoonmakesrecords work his magic upon them.

A few snaps from our “After The Warmth” release party just over a week ago. Thank you all for coming out! We are forever grateful to our amazing host and DJ @soundsbyjvs, @argosyeav for letting us crash The Brig and of course our sponsors @oldfourthdistillery and @blendedfamilyspirits. Photos by the always talented @amanda.tanner.film 🥂✨

We’re stoked about the response to “ATW” so far and hope ya’ll continue to stream it on your favorite platform. For you physical media lovers (🙋🏻), only a handful of seven inches remain on Bandcamp!

This is the music I’ve been waiting years to make. How great is it that I get to make it with some of my very best friends and collaborate with two individuals that have inspired me and made records that sit proudly in my own collection. Thank you @samkrayons, @lukethornton, @mattian23 and @walrusmuse for embarking on this journey with me and sharing your talents with me. Thank you @damonmoonmakesrecords and @spsmastering for lending your expertise and experience to bring this music to life. Also I could not have properly adorned this project visually without the talents and patience of @amandatannerart and her ninja skills with a camera.  “After The Warmth” by @schoolofdesignband hits streaming today. Please listen to the absolute shit out of it and share it with all of your friends. You’ll be hearing more from this bunch of weirdos soon.

“After the Warmth” record release party for @schoolofdesignband at the Brig last night was a humid, whiskey-laced fever dream.
