OH MY GOD.

Finding Jupiter 24/7. We've been working on soooo much recently. We've got a ton of stuff coming out very very soon, and we're so excited to share it all!

Things in this post:
1. GIG! One gig this summer, and we want you there.
2. EP?!
3. wtf?!

1. Check it. We're playing one show this summer, and it's in San Jose! We'll be playing with a couple of other cool bands (Bam!Vox and We Need Heroes). It's July 23rd but if you buy tickets now they're only $5! (promocode: FINDING338). Come listen to some great music and chill with us!

Click to buy tickets!

2. We decided about a month ago to pull together an EP before graduation, so we've been in the studio nonstop the past few weeks working on it. The EP will consist of a couple of familiar songs, three(ish) new songs, and 2 or 3 remix tracks. The official release date is... July 19th! I know, kind of far away... but we def need the time to make sure everything is perfect. You'll be hearing my favorite track off the EP in the next week or two :)

3. Peter, Dean, and I are graduating this weekend!! A bit terrifying... Goodbye Stanford, hello rent payments!!

Ok, that's it for now... bye!

Toilet paper craziness!

Today we shot the "Roses" music video which was...so much fun. I've never had such a great time shooting a music video. Thanks to Alex for being a boss, as always. Thanks also to everyone who came to help throw toilet paper at us.

If you couldn't make it, check out these pictures as a teaser of what's to come.

Why Britney Spears is ruining a generation of spellers

A few weeks ago, the band released a cover of Britney Spears's "Till the World Ends."



I like our cover, and I must admit that I do enjoy the original. But as a writer, the thing that really pisses me off about this song is its name. Why?

Till is NOT A WORD.

Put simply, 'til  is an abbreviation for until. The apostrophe replaces the un.

Britney isn't the first to think that it should be spelled till, but she's probably the most prominent. If "...Baby One More Time" birthed a generation of rebelliously sexy tweenagers, "Till the World Ends" will probably birth a flood of terrible spellers.

And this is what is wrong with pop culture--no copy editors.

**EDIT**
My friend pointed this out to me:

I absolutely never thought I would be schooled by Britney Spears, but I definitely maintain that I vastly prefer 'til to till as a personal/stylistic choice.
