The four-piece joins Fish to talk chaos, controversy, and community as they gear up for their first Warped Tour appearance (can you believe they had never heard of the festival until they got their offer to play?!). The band dives into how their very first show at the Whisky a Go Go, from independently booking their first show at the Whisky to being welcomed into the alternative scene as sonic agitators with a purpose.

But beneath the antics lies a real connection to their growing fanbase and figuring out who their audience really is, while being grateful for each opportunity.
