In addition, we will be holding the 3rd ANNUAL Fan Appreciation Pizza Party the night before (Tuesday, April 16th) which will include an advance screening of the Can’t Hold Us music video!!

So you know what that means. We bout to have a CONTEST. 50 winners from our hometown of Seattle will be selected to attend the Fan Appreciation Party on April 16th! AND thanks to the generous folks at CRACKER JACK’D, 2 lucky winners will be flown-in from out of state! BAM!

The Source “The Come Up: Manager Zach Quillen”

“I admire their ability to be fearless in what they do. I think that over time people will see this as I do, and recognize the courage and confidence it takes to put out the sort of music they do. They are pushing boundaries in culture, refusing to follow trends, and re-shaping the way people look at certain issues. That’s what a great artist does — and I’m happy to help them share their art with the world.” - ZQ
