Mere

Today we dropped a new release titled Pain Processing. This EP highlights heartbreak and just like all of our other music is very personal to me. I hope you can find something in these songs like we have. It’s not a volume, but simply a chapter. It’s bad luck season, bad luck crew forever. love, mere. artwork by @benhoagland_ produced by @thecodystewart

IM GOING HOME 😭 16 days. Before coming in here I had severe chest pain, couldn’t walk more than a couple feet without being completely out of breath, and I sincerely was a bit nervous for my well being hoping I could make it to the ER on my own accord. I know this stuff builds strength but I can’t say I wasn’t scared, depressed, or beside myself during the last few days. They added one more antibiotic to the mix on Sunday and that seemed to start moving the needle. This was one of hardest experiences of my life without a doubt. I had to find a backup for the tour in case, had to almost reevaluate my life for a moment, and everyday I woke up in rage cause I wasn’t getting better. I just wanted to breathe again. I cried when I hit 91 oxygen on room air without the machine. To think the most simple thing is breathing and though we take it for granted. To those that visited me, brought me something, made time to call me, check up on me, and the nurses that were pleasant to be around thank you truly for keeping me out from a true dark place mentally. It kept my spirits high enough to have still kept motivation to get out of bed. I didn’t land in here for any reason but cystic fibrosis. This is the beast of this illness anything can change in a second and I kept up my health for 7 years which is a long time with this condition. Any time the nurses would ask when my last hospitalization was and I said 7 years they were shocked. I used to be in here every 1.5/2 years that was before touring. Through years of touring contracting different sicknesses, lung infections, & getting Cvid 6 times the fact I’ve kept up my numbers from sinking that low is almost like a miracle. I’m keeping a low profile until I leave for the living chaos tour. But I’m back. You’re not taking this from me. SKEEEEE YEEEE 🐊🥳🦅

It’s been 7 years now since my last lung related “tune up” and that’s the longest i’ve made it my entire life. ❤️ Music has played a big part in inspiring to keep moving forward because it feels I have something to work / live for. Find what you love and let it consume you. Through all else don’t doubt yourself on what you can accomplish. We can’t change the cards we’re dealt, but we can change how we play them. Remember nobody is gonna care more than you.

“Im drowned in this river that’s filled with my sorrows” ⚰️ Was singing a lot before we left for tour. This is one of my favorite Paleface Swiss songs so I did a little rendition of it. Enjoy :) Rivers of sorrow - Paleface Swiss 🧀

Only one more day till I’m back to war (tour) 🚐 Faced my fear & rode the fastest roller coaster at universal, can confirm VelociCoaster is very sick. This is the year where I stop being afraid of everything. It’s working so far. Filled my last month home with traveling to see the road family. Having friends from all parts of the world is something I’ll never take for granted. Music is still the coolest thing in the world!! #april

Today we dropped a new EP titled “Pain processing II”. Last time we released music i was in a hospital bed, today I am happy to say that I’m in much better state. Mentally & physically. This EP highlights the aggressive nature of what it feels like to lose everything with no sight of improvement at the time. Grieving over a life you once had. Hurt always teaches a lesson, one you don’t understand at the time you experience it but in time you learn to work through your anger and find yourself at a point of growth. Forgive yourself for what you didn’t know and forgive other people that might have disappointed you because without them you don’t become a version of yourself that’s stronger than before. As always it’s bad luck season, bad luck crew forever. love, mere. Artwork by @benhoagland_ mixed & mastered by @thecodystewart

Finally saw the jersey shore house 🇮🇹 CABS ARE HEREEEEEEEEE what originally was a non refundable trip to Boston turned into a adventure all around the east coast instead. Sometimes things change without having control over the circumstances but never let that stop you from enjoying your life. I’m so blessed to meet strangers that turn into good friends that offer me so much kindness. Do something spontaneous. Do shit alone. Do it scared fr. Life doesn’t stop for anyone or anything even when you want it to.

New side quest unlocked 🤣 🎸 Shout out @boltcutter.slam I love music so much
