Find out more about the up-and-coming Los Angeles rock quartet.
Weathers may be at the beginning of their adult years, but don't think they're just another young band that just wants to sing about all the good things in life. Instead, the Los Angeles band draws on their experiences growing up in the post-Millennial Generation Z, and how they're working through it. This gave birth to their single, "Happy Pills."
"Happy Pills is kind of ambiguous," lead singer and guitarist Cameron Boyer tells Myspace. "It's a fun, campy song about some dark serious shit. We wrote it based on stuff we've experience growing up. It's a song about not being dependent on other things and people. But it's kind of up to you and how you want to interpret it."
Weathers have been busy and spent a good amount of the year gigging wherever and whenever they can. Currently on tour with Saint Motel, they're really enjoying the road life.
"The tour was awesome. So much fun," Cameron says. "Saint Motel was super super nice. They treated us so well and we had such a good time with them. The crowd was always a good size and also very fun. So the tour was great. We learned a lot too. The whole thing was such a good learning experience in terms of how to be a better band and work as a unit."
We had a chance to chat with the band and get to know each member a little bit better. Find out more about the guys behind Weathers below.
