In 2014, ourfathers. was formed when a group of friends decided to write music to commemorate the passing of some of the founding members’ fathers. Drawing influences from the likes of Pianos Become the Teeth, Sigur Ros, Mew, and At The Drive In, the band sought out a sound to amalgamate the members’ individual upbringings in the Alternative, Post-Rock, Punk, Hardcore, and Emo scenes.

In August 2015, the band released their debut EP “Movements”, which they recorded with Dryw Owens (From Indian Lakes, A Lot Like Birds). The success of this release brought the band to play alongside acts like King Woman, State Faults, Hail the Sun, Wolf and Bear, and Mom Jeans.

In June 2018, ourfathers. independently released their debut album, “Funeral Pyre”. The album was recorded at the legendary studio, Tiny Telephone SF (RIP). The band set out on a West Coast tour, in the Fall of 2018, to support the new album.

In 2019, the band took a pause from playing shows to head into the studio and work on new material. They were working on a new EP when the whole word screeched to a halt in 2020 with the global COVID-19 pandemic. The band worked through the uncertainty, constraints, and limitations set upon by the pandemic, and on January 1st 2021, released their second EP, Movements 2.

Immediately after the release of Movements 2, ourfathers. began work on their second full-length album. The currently untitled second album sees the band taking a completely independent approach, opting to record and produce the album themselves in their private studio in Oakland, California. The new album showcases the band’s newfound energy and growth, exploring headier themes, more complex progressive structures, and blending genres from each of the members recent obsessions. The record is set to be released in 2025.
