  • We’re Throwing a HUGE party

    We’re Throwing a HUGE party

    This new album is truly about us breaking free and fighting for our dreams. We took all the risks this time, we jumped in both feet and we said damn the cost 💸 (for the most part, let’s be real). We collaborated with friends whenever we got the chance and the outcome has been nothing but magic…🪄


    Welcome to all our new subscribers! 🏆 We get new subs each time, so thanks for being part of the ABM family! 💖

    We’ve officially gone from East 🦞 to West 🗻 this summer. We just got back from Terrace, BC where we took full advantage of Canada’s largest LED dance floor! 💃🏼 🪩 🕺🏼.

    We played Luna’s🌙Pulse and it was a total blast! Hopefully we’ll get back there for more festivals soon! 🎉.

    Hey friends, the sun☀️ is shining and we’re feeling frisky! The weather had me SO bummed out, but now? That sun is like drugs. So, we’re releasing a new song. Drum roll please🥁…

    That’s right, we’re releasing our cover🎶 of Carly Rae’s song “Call Me Maybe” on May 30th. If you’ve been to a show recently you’ve heard this version. We love how this one turned out. We always try to do a song that gets people up out of their seats and so far, we think this one hits the mark.🎯 Plus…

    May 16th at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. Tickets are $20 and doors are at 7pm (we’re on at 8pm). Come rock with us on the big stage, alongside High Teens and My Son the Hurricane.

    We also need to shout out Go Rock radio 📻 in the Maritimes. They’ve officially added “OK OK” to regular rotation so if you’re in Lunenburg, NS tune in!
