Is It Cool Tho?
Straight outta West Hollywood the perpetually dynamic duo commands attention as the rollercoaster of folk punk pop tunes captivates you’re heart and mind. We always say our band is like Lynyrd Skynyrd had a baby with Kesha and Zach Brian got jealous while Green Day did the radio broadcast of the fight… but mostly we’re just trying to make Kurt Cobain proud.
break-up songs, country whimsy, kinda like Oasis vibes with a belted high note or two. The motto is sprinkle a little joy.
