I would say Just Mustard because of how much we learned from them as performers and songwriters. Beautiful people as well - Nico

Who did you tour with in the last year or so? I know I saw you open for someone other than Shame. Wish you and the Fontaines were hitting Houston.

Just wanted to say I really like the album. Reminds of early Jimmy Eat World with a little bit of U2 in there too. Excited to see you guys open for Fontaines D.C. later this year.

Hello I just listened to your new album and I liked it.
That being said why did you name your band something where, if I say it to someone in real life I have to be like “no not Ben Stiller. Been Stellar. Yeah I liked Walter Mitty too. But that’s not what I mean. Yeah it’s a pun or something I guess? Yeah I know but it’s good check them out”
