What band did you discover in 2025 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
Twisted Teens from New Orleans. Totally obsessed with their self-titled album from '24.
How will you remember 2025 (in terms of music)?
We put out a new record and played a bunch of fun shows. Those were bright spots on an otherwise pretty bleak year.
What can we look forward to from you in 2026?
We are playing some shows and hopefully working on new music. Solidifying our eternal celestial bond through a series of blood rituals and demo making for songs that will never be properly recorded.
Going to Montreal in May for Pouzza.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2026?
I know The Arrivals have a new one coming... I feel like Rad Payoff owes The United States a new record.
Singles rule the music scene right now. How has that affected you as a band or label? Has it influenced your approach to new releases or touring?
We are not bound by Earthly rules. We follow the code of our spiritual guru, Dominic Toretto, by living life a quarter mile at a time.
