Fanclub is Mike Lee, Leslie Crunkilton, and Daniel Schmidt from Austin, TX. Fanclub began from Mike’s love of twee pop, synth pop, and dreamy guitars. He searched for a vocalist, and when Leslie started singing on a song, it became clear that her voice would be the drive of the band. The songs are dazzling, both melancholic yet upbeat. Fanclub gives us a sound that is hopefully nostalgic but also distinctly brand new.
Following on from the release of the ‘Stranger’ and ‘Reflection’ singles, the ‘All the Same’ EP rounds out the collection of Fanclub‘s debut collective output, showcasing the band’s penchant for writing songs that incorporate beauty and pain into a lo-fi, melodic aesthetic.
“Leslie and I started working on a song and before we knew it, we had a ton of material in a short matter of time. Leslie’s band had just broken up and mine was on an indefinite hiatus. Fresh off a heartache and a death in the family, Fanclub was the perfect place for both of us to find creatives ways to move forward. This EP represents a new beginning where we could do old things in a new way. With Daniel supporting us in every sense of the word, we were very careful to sculpt a sound we loved and we hope others will love it too.” – Mike Lee
