Can’t believe we sold out these in-stores so quickly! We’ve added a second NY show at Rough Trade on 1/29 at 1pm (on sale now) and there are still a few spots left for Easy Street in Seattle!

This is your shiny gold shovel. 2 coats guaranteed.

Just picked up one of these for the tour.

We started recording Boycott Heaven at Henson Studios one year ago this week. What an incredible opportunity it was to be back in the studio with Nate after so much time, and in a room with legends like Brendan O’Brien and Matt Chamberlain. I’ve truly never been more terrified and excited at the same time, but the weeks that followed went on to be some of the best of my life. We're thrilled to share this album in a couple of weeks and play as many shows as possible. See you in the pit ✌️❤️
