Tour is halfway done - Brisbane was a very emotional time watching my boys in @handslikehouses absolutely rip. A lot of work has gone into that band the past 3 years and being front row to see the passion and dedication pay off was a very rewarding moment. Lots of love to the boys and stoked to be on tour again with the fam - 📷 @jvmeslatter
4 weeks in Bali with the legends @awfulthingsband from Singapore - working on their debut EP with a couple days in isolation wrapping up some personal projects - thanks for having us @aya_studios

When Dream on Dreamer ended in 2019, we were burnt out and unsure of who we were becoming. Some of us were about to be dads, some were struggling with what the band meant to us.
We had just started to regain our footing off the back of It Comes and Goes, which today is our highest performing work. Yet despite this success there was an element that felt dishonest. Perhaps it was the unknown expectations we were putting on ourselves as soon-to-be fathers. Or maybe in the face of things going well, not being able to fully devote ourselves to what should be a passion became too daunting all whilst having the realisation that our love had to be focused elsewhere. In any case, we weren’t in it 100% so we stepped away.
Time gave us perspective. We reconnected not just as a band, but as friends who still love making music together. We spent some time to find what felt like a more honest way to approach the band and a way to enjoy the process together as brothers
