A few years ago we played this show. Much fun was had and lifelong friendships were made. Thanks Garrett!

Sweater Weather's '1995-1997' is out Friday, December 5 on LP & CD. Our first ever single-artist twelve inch. Featuring some of our earliest alumni, Sweater Weather is a key part of the history and influence to come from our corner of the midwest. These decades old recordings will not be lost to time. In conjunction with the band, we were able to turn their entire recorded output into a proper album and realize their complete discography.

Sweater Weather reunites Kevin J Frank (guitar) and Ryan Rapsys (drums) of Gauge together with Radio Flyer bassist Paul Obrecht. Target guitar player Zac Conway returns alongside KJF once again and sometimes sings too.

Limited edition of 100 LPs on coke bottle clear vinyl with double-sided insert. If repressed, vinyl color will change to keep these unique.

CD digipaks (6 panel) contain the entire discography. Orders for either format get all 19 songs digitally.

Three songs now streaming! Order at
