Sup?
We just got back from the first leg of our North American tour, which was a total blast. Every show was fun, and it was great to meet a ton of new friends, plus see a bunch of old ones. Definitely the best tour we’ve done thus far, and we can’t wait to get back out there.
Huge thank you to Zach Atkinson, Pilot Episode, Adam Nimmo, Josh Pothier, Lorne and December Fall Out, Chris and Weak Teeth/Best Practices, Alan Dodd, Greg Ragnio, Yael “Mom” Glina, Matthew Wirick and Glocca Morra/Stable Boys, and Jon and Edhoculi for setting up shows, letting us sleep on your floors and/or just being rad folks. Please click all those links and check out every band, because they all rip in their own special way.
Just to catch up - Easy Listening came out last Tuesday, and you can grab it for free HERE. So, go do that. We’ll wait. … Okay, moving on. There’s been some reviews and interviews going ‘round, so you can check those out here:

We’ve started to map out our tour schedule for the fall, and it’s looking like we’re gonna head back out to the northeastern States (NY, NJ, PA, MA, MD, VA, RI) in September, hit up the east coast on our way down to the Fest in October, then do a run of the midwest in November. Dates will be posted as soon as we have ‘em.
On the recording tip, I know the new EP just came out, but we’ll be heading back into the studio with our old buddy Josh Korody at his new studio, Candle Recording, to record a few songs that will be going onto a 7” and maybe a split or two, if everything lines up. Ideally, we’ll be playing some new shit on this next run, but who knows.
This is old news, but I wanted to thank everyone who came out to the release show a couple weekends ago. We were over capacity the entire time, and all of us were covered in all sorts of liquids by the end, most of which is still caked to our guitars/pedals/etc. Can’t say we’re allowed back at Cinecycle, but either way, many thanks if you were a part of making it a very special night for us.
Other than that, there’s not much to report. We leave for the west in a few days. We’ve started Instagram-ing pretty incessantly, so if you use that, you can follow us @ “instagreys.” Or, if you’d rather see us in person, come say hi at one of these stops!
