We are truly in disbelief on how perfect our EP release show went on Friday. From the vibes of the crowd, and the performances put on by the bands, there was literally no dull moment. We enjoyed every single minute of that night. Moments like this that we can share with the community is all that we could’ve ever wanted when we started this band.

For any reason that you attended this show, we thank you so much for coming. It was one of the most special nights in our lives.

We’d like to thank our drummer Fenn for putting this show together. For it being his first time handling a show entirely himself, we don’t think it could’ve gone any smoother. It wouldn’t have been possible without him.

This concludes “Sleepyhead Summer.” We hope you’ve enjoyed our EP, and we hope you continue supporting. We will be back at Damsel and Fuchsia Fest next month. We genuinely can’t thank you all enough. See you soon ✨

“STARRY EYES” - EP OUT NOW ON ALL PLATFORMS

We are beyond ecstatic to present to you our debut EP, “Starry Eyes.” This is a collection of songs we began writing from March 2025 when it was just Gabe and Fenn, to this year in April with further developed sounds as a full band.

We thank Tucker Thomasson for giving us a prime opportunity to get a fully produced project out so soon. As a young band who be broke sometimes, we couldn’t thank you enough for giving us a head start. Thank you to Jullianna Iyog as well for flawlessly bringing together our visions of art for this project. Jullianna additionally worked on the single covers, and they came out killer.

The whole theme to this era of the band was this: No pressure, and no front man feel. It took all of us to bring these songs to fruition. At the end of the day, this EP was about writing songs that we liked. There was no intention to stick to one genre or sound, because we’re starting out. Through these songs, you’ll notice it’s many kinds of alternative rock.

It was nothing to take super seriously, and for that, the time we spent working on this project was some of the best times of our lives. Not only because we loved doing this together, but because you all gave us more of a reason to.

Come see us play “Starry Eyes” in full on August 14 in Evansville. We put the show together ourselves, and we’re stoked for it.

81270 and beyond, we luv you. We hope you listen and enjoy, “Starry Eyes.”
