Imagine people in a city were like “hey council, we need more trees”. After a vote, council (with stunning speed) erects gorgeous, intricately lifelike, and extremely cheap giant murals of trees, and proclaims “there you go, enjoy citizens!” That is the story of AI-generated music. Empty of oxygen.

Our 4th album GET A LIFE is a pop-punk alt-rock whatever-genre 23-minute rollercoaster about finding your way in an absolute clusterf*ck of a modern world. Crank it up!

It was the best of times, it was the just ate a whole pizza of times

Sometimes when you write delusionally hopeful songs it can feel pointless when things look truly hopeless. But those are the times that hopeful songs are needed the most. So we’ll keep writing them, even if for nobody other than ourselves.

“You guys get better every time I see you.” “No matter the size of the show, you guys always play like you’re opening for Bon Jovi.” “That was fun.” 10/10 feedback after our show last night 🥰🤘

If anyone’s gonna tariff anything please make it the phrase “______ is living rent free in my mind”

Seems like people like animal photos on this application so here’s a couple pelicans I photographed with my phone last week in Florida

Wrote some sick new songs & stoked to get in the studio to record them and also certain they’re not actually that good in fact they’re quite derivative but actually when we listen to them again we’re like “holy 💩 these are SO good!!!” then think of playing them for someone and have a panic attack 🤷

Don’t we all, ultimately, just want to be inclusively canonicalized

The Substance is a bold iPad pick for an aisle seat 😳

The year is 2057. The oceans have risen. The plains have dried up. The planets have failed to be colonized. Yet somewhere, defiantly, stoically, unflinchingly, Travis Barker is still playing Hollywood Nights. And there remains hope.

AI’s intrusion into every single app and site I encounter is literally making everything I do less efficient - no I don’t need you to help me write a one sentence email

Anyone else visit this chaotic sonic intersection at NAMM? No place like it on earth 🙉 🤣 #namm2025

The NAMM Show is so refreshing - a vibrant, optimistic, welcoming community free of the cynicism that we so often encounter in the music industry, especially in Canada. So happy we returned this year ❤️🤘 #namm2025

Off to NAMM tomorrow, anyone else here going? We’re cruising the booths to nerd out over gear next few days then playing the Hilton Sat night at 10 🤘

Heavily invested in the Philomena Cunk Extended Cinematic Universe

The Freeland / Trudeau split reminds me of when I got kicked out of my old band as the drummer, but the bassist who fired me was like “you can stay on as a rhythm guitarist if you want” like, yeah thanks bud

Just got another grant app rejection, so failing all other options we will in this rare circumstance accept thoughts and/or prayers

“Its too late When we die To admit we should not use AI”

Dear Spotify AI DJ it’s Mike AND the Mechanics not Mike PLUS the Mechanics

Just realized that when the protagonist of the Cake song The Distance experienced “bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse”, what happened was he was in therapy and shit his pants

Learned today that the Eglinton crosstown LRT construction has entered its 13th year & we just would like to let Toronto and any other municipalities reading this know that we are available for bar mitzvahs

Fun game, give me a topic 🤔

New to Bluesky, what’s the vibe check on hating Ticketmaster here, over it? BECAUSE I HATE IT

Went to the One Of A Kind show in Toronto today - the amount of creativity and passion on display across all these vendors was so beautiful and nourishing. Countless entrepreneurs pouring every ounce of themselves into their art, & real people connecting with and supporting it IRL. ❤️ Go see it!

Maggie Rogers’ album Don’t Forget Me is one of the best of this year, and just learned through her interview on CBC’s Q that most of it was demos that she realized couldn’t be improved upon which is 🤯 because the production is so lush and layered and beautiful. Stunning album.

Just another day getting trolled by Ticketmaster

Silicon Valley: the metaverse is gonna be so cool! We’re gonna live in it and it’ll be sick! Better than actual life! Super duper fun utopia weeeee! The metaverse: everyone posting the same engagement-bait to 40 apps that are all exactly the same and our souls all have migraines

All this talk of Taylor Swift reminds me we once did a live mashup of Shake It Off and War Pigs; I have no proof, no documentary evidence, but you’re just going to have to believe me that it really happened and it was spectacular.

Cleaning up & found this 2016 article from the Sudbury Star - if you thought all we were seeking was fame & fortune, scroll down to see our true priorities 🤦

So … why does everyone love it over here? What’s the best way to get into it? Other apps have made us cynical as musicians that nobody wants us to post about our actual music, is it different here? Curious bc it’s exciting to think there can be a better way to connect online!

This interview is a must listen for any progressive in any country wanting to make sense of the US election results. Canada is on track for a hard right turn if the Liberal party does not have a serious internal reckoning ASAP

Felt seen by the 3rd line of @nytimes Connections today 🤘 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Saw “The Substance” this week, still processing. Mix of Severance, Carrie, Barbie, and a ton of other influences. Had to look away at times but it was really good & especially a delight to see in a packed theatre. Wide range of very vocal expressions from the audience 😱😳🤮😂

OK, here we are! Bluer skies do sound appealing. We're a high-energy female-fronted hopes&dreams rock&roll band with a live show you won't forget + new music coming in 2025. Here's our latest, a self-deprecating song about being jealous of our friends - let us know if you relate 😇 ffm.to/qwn6jjd
