the fact that they grew up together on an island is such a sweet origin story. you can definitely feel that energy in their music. what a blessing they have given us letting us into their world <3

[sacousticmixtape]

I am sad this video is only five minutes. They come across as both humble and dryly hilarious. I love the band, and seeing these small conversations between them gives you even more insight into them as people, and what makes their music so special for their fans.

[danebrennand]

The fact that these two girls are still friends and do such amazing music together honestly is inspiring that there's still wholesome energy in this world

There should be a movie about Molly and Kerri as childhood friends who grow up and eventually tour the world together
