Upon the 1996 release of their first EP, “Tennis Racket,” the southern California quartet known as The Autocollants brought on a simple, unpretentious style of bedroom indiepop. Over the next couple of years, Ed, Laura, Tim, and Dwayne wrote songs from the heart, recorded in a (literal) bedroom studio, and played a handful of shows around the west coast of the US. Their trademark breezy, relaxed sound continued into the band’s debut album “Why Couldn’t Things Just Stay The Same?” which was released in 1999. Shortly after the album’s release, life circumstances led to the band members in separate directions

In 2025, the band reconnected after gaining some interest from a new generation of indiepopfans and decided to reform and play some select shows in LA. Fast forwarding to 2026, the Autocollants are now actively working on new music and will be touring the west coast in June.

Rob and Jay are an indie pop outfit birthed from the capitalist hellscape of Nashville, where they grew up obsessing over the Beatles 1 compilation disc. They have played in bands together from middle school up until their first duo project, 2020’s electro-tinged pop LP, “At Home With Rob and Jay.” In 2022 they followed up with a back-to-basics guitar pop LP, “With Love from Rob and Jay” co-released with Shelflife Records.
