Not only was Eichlers a breeze to collab with, but our conversations helped me shift perspectives on things like chasing numbers vs actual connection.

Kendra had to deliver Ska, old school Rock, and Punk on this vic_ruggiero cover for Stubborn Records 🏁 Support STUBBORN RECORDS on bandcamp

I recorded the Chatter guitar solo on my mom's childhood guitar. I wonder if my kid will do something similar with one of my artifacts one day. 🎸

I like Ike! 🎚️ playful songs with intentional and bold production, what's not to like?!? 🏁 Eichlers and Ups song in bio

It's eerie how relevant Alan Watts "Don’t Think Too Much" is today. Our song "Chatter in the Skull" is a reminder. 🏁 link in bio

I'm looking forward to crawling outta the studio to do this with you guys again 🏟️

Beer Fests are the best fests

Seems like fest season is a wrap. Happy to duck back into the club scene. This is from @toastersnyc in VA. #jamminjava #rockclub #upstartersband #toasters
