Listening to them is a bit like leaning on your slightly older, begrudgingly wiser, yet equallyconfused best friend when shit hits the fan. In a mosaic of alternative and indie punctuated byunassuming pop appeal, the lived experiences of the band breathefluidly through the tracks astheir music yearns for connection, intimacy, for home or the past.The Detroit-born and Nashville-based trio—Trevor Dalrymple [vocals], Luca DiVergilio [bass],and Ethan Strain [lead guitar]—fearlessly flaunt personalities just as outsized as theseemotions, garnering them an online following of over one-hundred thousand. After amassing tenmillion-plus streams and earning early acclaim from A1234, SHEESH, and many others, theband continues to give form to relatable feelingson an upcoming 2025 EP.For as much as they’re on the same page these days, Luca and Trevor hated each other whenthey first met. “We met because we all dated the same set of twins,” Luca boasts. Best friendsLuca and Ethan began dating the twins on a road trip before Luca moved to Spain. Lucareturned home to find Trevor, a new addition to the friend group, dating his ex-girlfriend. “Lucaand I didn’t like each other at all,” Trevor recalls. “He was the ex-boyfriend, I was the newboyfriend, and we bothhad the same hair.”Over time, a shared romanticism and passion for art forced the two together and the threefriends began recording music in a cramped apartment. Nodding to inspirations such as The1975 & Big Thief, they approached their artistry from aboundless perspective. Sharingindependent singles such as “Spaced Out,” Pretty Jane began to rise with fervent support in theunderground. They further fostered a tight knit relationship with the scene through incendiarybasement gigs, food fights with their fans, and crowd-surfing without fail at every show.They made waves with the breakout “Too Few Tattoos,” reeling in 7.8 million Spotify streams.A1234 hailed it as “an anthem that fits perfectly in a hangover recovery playlist, and equally soin a reflective morning playlist.” They maintained this momentum with the likes of “ShotgunWedding,” “Fur Coats,” and “under your tongue.” Of the latter, SHEESH praised, “It personifiesan emotion that only abrasive guitar tones can correctly convey, and with this single I can see areal maturation in their music."Their mastery of unexpected and unfettered intimacy lives up to the moniker of “Music that feelslike kissing your friends.” In short, the band urges their fans to make more bad decisions.“Kissyourfriends” is a call to live your life without the fear of consequence,” Luca grins. “I thinkour generation is less willing to settle for pissing their lives away, and we’re proud of that. ‘Kissyour friends’ is a bit of a battle cry for that.” “We as peoplehate monotony and inaction,” Trevorsays. “To me, ‘kissing your friends’ is like, Maybe there will be consequences, but go out, do it,and experience those emotions.” “I think that’s why we gravitate towards themes of yearning,”Ethan adds. “We’re all yearning for deeper connections and experiences.” Pretty Jane’s desperate reach for life’s most grandiose and overwhelming emotions is reflectedin the depth of their friendships. Living in the same house since their move to Nashville, theycontinue thisreach in close quarters. “Pretty Jane is like one living and breathing organism thatfluidly ties us all together,” Luca concludes. “We aren’t doing this half-assed. We live togetherand have really assimilated into one collective.” “We aren’t friends because we’re in a band,”Trevor leaves off. “We are in a band because we are friends. Artistically, this group is an avenueto give people the experience our favorite music has given us, but it’s also been an avenue toget closer to two people than I ever have in my life, and that’s special.”
