Cisco Swank, Yoshi T., Sebastiano, Jackson August, and Elijah Judah all met as instrumental majors at LaGuardia High School — saxophone, clarinet, drums, piano — years before any of them thought to actually start a group together, which didn't happen until after they'd graduated.
That jazz-conservatory background collides directly with hip-hop and alternative influences ranging from Herbie Hancock to A$AP Mob to Oasis on their self-titled 2025 debut album, and the group played Coachella's Gobi Stage in April 2026 not long after — a fast validation for a band whose members had been circling each other in school hallways for years before they finally combined.
