Has it been THAT long? Yes, yes it has. If you've seen us live, you've heard "Dead Weight," our anthem about cutting toxic people out of your life. We started recording it in 2023 with several other songs and it's finally ready for release. It features Julia on vocals and a killer three-piece horn section.
The artwork for "Dead Weight" was beautifully drawn by Kat Delitto, guitarist for Indoor Friends.
