We're elated to announce the first single from our forthcoming body of work. The song is called "BLUE" and it serves as a thesis statement for the record. We hope you love it. Save to any and all platforms now!

Happy 2023!
Just a quick message to tell you three things:
1. Our third full-length album will release this year (!!!!) and we can't wait to start sharing the music with you very soon. In the meantime, Buick has started publishing the second half of the Massachusetts Memories series. The pieces are connected to the music; check them out!
2. We have a handful of sizes left in shirt designs related to the HOLD ON TO YOURSELF and BILL records, and we're making them all ten dollars today for the first Bandcamp Friday of the year! These won't be re-printed, so grab what you want!
3. We love you all. Thank you for the support at the recent shows; thank you for buying the RELEASE THE REST vinyl (which turned out so beautifully!); and thank you for being here.
That's it! We'll be back with big sounds soon. BIG.
Yours in solidarity,
Buick & Jerry, FC

Hello, all!
As promised, we're thrilled to share our new single, "AND IF MY BODY," with you today. This is a work of protest, a boundary against bodily control and the attitudes that got us here, to this post-Roe reality. Our usual collaborators Kurt Ballou and Brad Boatright worked on it with us. The folx at Treble premiered the video yesterday. Watch it here:
We are also pleased to announce RELEASE THE REST, a limited vinyl compilation of the singles we’ve released since HOLD ON TO YOURSELF, remastered for vinyl by Brad Boatright. Many people have asked us about "STONECHILD / YOUR REIGN IS OVER" and "ALTAR / LAND OF MEN" being released on vinyl, and now those songs will all be in one place! “AND IF MY BODY” opens the EP!
Available for pre-order now, ships on December 1st. Semi-transparent violet vinyl, 45 RPM. Grab one while they last!
We have more dates to announce soon, but mark your calendars for these upcoming shows if you're nearby!

Hey pals!
We hope you've had a great summer so far!
We're doing well, save for the absolutely destructive and dangerous Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24th. Unreal and yet also totally real. We stand with all who support bodily autonomy and have much more to say on the subject; stay tuned for an announcement about that very soon.
In the meantime, we're thrilled to be heading out to play two festivals in just a couple of weeks! We already told you about Scorched Tundra XII in Chicago on September 2nd. We're playing the second of the three nights with REZN, THOU, and HUNTSMEN. If you don't already have tickets, get them now!
CHICAGO: BUY TICKETS HERE
The very next night, September 3rd, we're at PRFBBQLOU2022 in Louisville! It's another incredible line-up and we truly can't wait. We hope to see all kinds of friends and other bands.
LOUISVILLE: BUY TICKETS HERE
In other news: the first two singles from Buick's forthcoming solo album, Conversations with My Other Voice, have been released! "Afraid of Flying" and "The Melody" can be found anywhere you listen to music. The third single is called "Deadbolt" and is out this Friday, August 19th; pre-save it if you're interested! If you'd like to pre-order the album and book of essays she wrote to accompany it, you can do so now! Both are out on September 23rd.
If you missed it: Jerry released a rad EP of instrumental tracks in April called Track Guy Kloarb 1.1: Origin of Doomkloarb. You can stream and/or buy it here! He also released a cover of "Goro and the Emperor" and made a whole video of himself tracking it during the early shutdown of 2020. Check it out!
Hope to see some of you very soon!
Thanks for being here,

Hello, friends!
Just a quick note to remind you that we're playing our first in-person show in eighteen months this Thursday, August 19th! We're thrilled to be honoring our Hold On To Yourself EP that night, and Yautja are also treating the show as a release party for their new LP, The Lurch! It's truly wild to be getting merch together after so long, but we're stoked! We have vinyl, shirts, and posters for you all; come say hi at the merch table! Doors are at 7 PM.
Tickets can be purchased here
Important: EXIT/IN announced some new safety protocols for the show last week. Proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test within 48 hours (administered by a medical professional) will be required for entry. In addition, masks are recommended but not required. If you have any questions about those details, check out EXIT/IN's statement! We appreciate your understanding as we move ahead with trying to play the safest show possible. We understand that it's not perfect, but it's also the only way we don't just cancel altogether at this point. We're doing our best!
More shows will be announced very soon! Until then, please take care of yourselves. We hope to see our Nashville family at the show!
We love and appreciate you!
Buick & Jerry, FC
