Mabry and Phillips met as middle school classmates, and soon began making music together at a young age. They were only juniors in high school when their third single “i haunt ur dreams,” went from a teenage joke to a breakout hit, racking up three million views overnight. Since then, everything has been breakneck momentum. The online fervor that greeted their early releases quickly led to more viral hits, an opening slot for Cage The Elephant, performances at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Pitchfork Paris/London, early praise from NPR Music, Pigeons & Planes, Stereogum, and more.
Throughout, the duo kept writing new songs at a furious clip. From their 2023 project We’re Starting To Look Like Each Other to 2024’s Maine EP and 2025’s harrowing concept EP 33°, the duo documented generational experience with the wisdom of young adults forced to grow up too fast in a chaotic 21st century and with the storytelling acumen you might expect from a band whose name nods to Stephen Chbosky’s coming-of-age classic The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. Listeners quickly latched on to the brutal honesty of hey, nothing’s music, all conveyed in a blend of rock, punk, and folk nodding to formative influences including Big Thief, Modern Baseball, and Frightened Rabbit while often coalescing into a charmingly ragged middle ground more akin to an Americana-tinged indie.
Much more to come from hey, nothing soon – stay tuned.
