Opening for Catch 22 on Friday in Detroit was like a dream. Itβs incredibly rad that so many folks have been getting to shows early to catch our sets and weβre so humbled and appreciative of it. We have some really exciting things coming up over the next few months and we canβt wait to share!

They brutally arrested people of color and overstepped their bounds. Swanson is a βDINOβ and has a long history of involvement in a fundamentalist Baptist church/cult. He is anti-choice and anti-LGBTQ+. He and his wife have donated to several Republican candidates over the years. 2/

Friendly reminder that our song βOperation Arrowheadβ is about an initiative implemented by Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson, who now is running for Gov. of Michigan as a Dem. Arrowhead involved white sheriffβs deputies, who didnβt live in the City of Flint, over-policing downtown. 1/
