About // Bio
The project serves as a singer-songwriter vehicle for a sound that blends hook-driven urgency with confessional, relational storytelling. The band embraces both the nostalgic DNA of early-2000s pop punk and a modern emotional sincerity that resonates with today's audience.
Built on guitar-driven riffs, punchy rhythms, and melodic hooks that invite singing along, NVM, ILY occupies a hybrid space between pop punk's high-tempo rebellious attitude and emo's honest introspection.
Gerald Cerda's vocal delivery shifts from urgent conviction to fragile introspection, making every word feel like a letter, conversation, or internal monologue made public.
Key Tracks // Sonic Identity
"Before You Leave" (feat. Danny Goo)
More than a song — it's a sonic snapshot of emotional urgency. Built on rapid-fire guitars, thumping percussion, and a hook that burrows into your brain.
"I Know You Think This Song Is About You…"
A nod to the scene's tradition of dramatic titles used for self-referential storytelling and relational focus.
"bigfoot"
High-speed chases through the PNW and high-gain riffs. A little bit of playful melancholy for those of us who don't want to be found, but hate being alone. 🌲🛸
