why we do this
Squidbrains began with two guys—Christos & James—jamming in an apartment. We quickly found a shared musical language and had a ton of fun playing covers and writing songs, with no real plans beyond hanging out.
On some level, we have no idea what we're doing (hence the name squidbrains), but at some point mid-pandemic we decided to start throwing some content out into the void of the internet and find people that like it.
Join our mailing list and you'll get a new video of some sort every two weeks: live covers, looping jam sessions, hand-drawn animations, and alternate takes of songs we wrote. We’ll also send you some pre-release tracks off our forthcoming album, plus exclusive livestreams and other behind the scenes stuff.
