This is going down tonight. Come get loud.

Tonight! Kicking out some jams in Tolono, IL at the Loose Cobra.

About to kick off spring right with a beast of a show in Kankakee, IL. Our friends Mothpoint, Gamma Goat, and Levitating Giant are all gonna be there playing some amazing music. Tons of great music coming out of the Kankakee area right now and we're excited to get to be part of it.

Had a killer time playing shows in St. Louis and Carbondale, IL last weekend with our buddies Kilverez, Heroes of the Kingdom, and So So Samaritan. Can't wait to get back out there and do some more.

Big thanks to everyone who's been hitting up our Spotify lately. Makes us eager to drop some more songs asap!

Show poster for the bands Heroes of the Kingdom, Sunwise, and Kilverez describing a concert on February 7th 2025 at Platypus in St. Louis Missouri. The show is all ages and starts at 7pm with a 10 dollar cover charge.

If you're in the St. Louis area come see us at Platypus on Friday Feb 7th. Heroes of the Kingdom and Kilverez are both killer bands and we plan on bringing it as well.

Playing some shows early next month! Headed down to Carbondale, IL to play at PK's on Feb 8th w/ Kilverez and So So Samaritan. Maybe bring your earplugs for this one, it's gonna be loud.

Wanted to say hello to all the new followers! This is what we sound like:

Band selfie of four of the sexiest dudes currently alive.

Had a total blast playing Derailed Fest in Urbana, IL this past weekend. I drank a bunch of fancy bourbon. Blurry band selfie for proof.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

#BandcampFriday

Illinois was once known as "the graveyard of the nation" due to rampant Malaria. Finding the will to affect change or find a way to grow and thrive somewhere unexpected, is the central theme behind this album.
