Boyish

Boyish was created after a failed audition attempt for a college songwriters showcase at Berklee College of Music. Singer, India Shore and guitarist, Claire Altendahl met during their freshman year and while they were told they wouldn’t get the part, the judges told them “you should work together more”.

Their first release Carnation was dedicated to the college basement show scene, featuring 7 alt-country songs and getting a write up in The New Yorker. After leaving college, the pair felt they needed to head in a new direction that felt more authentic so they wrote and released Garden Spider in February of 2020. Then, as we all know, the fun stopped and Covid hit, sending India to quarantine in Brooklyn while Claire stayed in Minneapolis, MN. It was during this time that the two finally found the sound they had been trying to write for so long. Their latest EP We’re All Gonna Die, But Here’s My Contribution reflects on heartbreak, family drama, queerness, and the apocalypse. WAGDBHMC has been featured in NYLON, Ones to Watch, Lyrical Lemonade, Them. and more :)

Boyish last two EPs, "My Friend Mica" and “Little Demon Boy” received praise from Billboard, Paper, Office, Under The Radar Magazine, Rolling Stone and more.

The duo have opened for artists like Hippo Campus, King Princess, Rachel Chinouriri, Claud, The Beaches and more
