Known for their gritty, melodic indie pop songwritng, John-Allison Weiss emerged at the end of the 2000s as an early crowd-funding hero with a strong D.I.Y. ethos that has defined them throughout their career. After establishing themselves among the punk underground, they became a staple of the Warped Tour and released highly rated albums like 2013's Say What You Mean and 2015's New Love. Touring alongside peers like Laura Jane Grace, Matt Pryor, and the Front Bottoms, Weiss has also collaborated as a songwriter with artists including Tegan Quin and Kevin Devine. Following a live album and 2021's Death Valley Demos EP, they signed with Get Better Records and issued the single "Different Now."
