Description: Our debut album VHS came out 5 years ago this week. Wowowow. To say that the time has "flown by” would be like… I mean, it’s more like time got on the fuckin Hyperloop and basically teleported our asses here today. What even IS time right now anyways? I digress... This album had songs on it that would forever alter our journey as a band. This song in particular... it gives me the chills watching this footage of all of you singing it back to us. To have such a personal song and album travel as far as it has, to know how it’s affected all of you as much as it’s affected us… it’s all just a little overwhelming, tbh. VHS was mostly recorded in our van, backstage in venues, hotel rooms, other people’s kitchens (shout out my wife Tess , Maria wilson + Hannah Whitney for letting me be your 4th roomate all those years). It was scrappy,  perfectly imperfect, and a true testement to all those years we’d spent together in a stinky van travelling around the country. We’re still so proud of it and are thrilled to celebrate it’s 5th anniversary. I’d recommend listening to VHS today while you continue to fight for all Black lives, for the LGBTQ+ community, to Abolish the Police, to Abolish the Prison-Industrial Complex, and to vote 45 out of office.
