We were invited to a studio and it was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had! —Em

The rare whole-band pic

Waiting to announce a few shows. Just need the guys in charge to pull a few final strings. But shows, fests, parties: hell yes, we’re ready, willing, and booking.

We wrote a new song tonight!

Oney brought his pedal board to practice 👀

Some pics from practice

Our very own Oney had music release this week! His other musical endeavor, Idle Tribe, just dropped When It Hits!!

Played a bit at 50 West Brewing last night!

The boys.

Em here. I love this band. I’ve known Justin since I was 14, Oney since 2009, and Alex since 2011ish. These are my people. My family. Thank you for appreciating the work we do together. It’s so important to me to have the relationships, and music makes it 100x more amazing!

Writing. Practicing. Recording. Not necessarily in that order.

Evil Everywhere is SO GOOD!

Pic from the first ever practice with our drummer, Justin! Thanks for making music with us, man. Proud to call you bandmate!

Pic from the first ever Sun Movers practice with Oney! What a wild two? (three?) years it’s been! Thank you for playing with us, friend, and for becoming a Sun Mover. ❤️

Thinking about going to #Pittsburgh the weekend of the 1/30. Looking for smaller shows to go see. Lmk if you’ve got leads! —Em #livemusic

Sticker idea

We practiced our new song, The Story, this week. Hope all you literary sads are into it. I spent way too much not getting an English degree to write these lyrics, but it’s what it’s.

NEW NEW NEW!! Got a single fresh off the presses for yinz just in time to remind us what we need to do when the going gets tough. More than ever, we need each other. Always Build Community ❤️❤️❤️ #folkpunk #darkfolk #folk #girlsoffolkpunk #dropthumbsnotbombs #banjo #philly #alwaysbuildcommunity #diy

Spent all my disposable income this week on Taxpayers vinyls and Pat the Bunny has the AUDACITY to drop a new vinyl for preorder?? Bye, monies.

Sure, you’re the singer, but you wanna play with all the cool toys in the band room, and that’s okay.

I hit an open mic last night and got to watch one of my favorite artists play a set. His name is Oney. Pretty cool that he’s also my bandmate. —Em

Hit an open mic and got asked to the stage. It was messy but I had fun! —Em
