It makes sense for Ex Friends and Retreevers to put out a split together since the two Philly bands share a member. Leta of Retreevers also plays in Ex Friends alongside Joel from Plow United and JP from Beach Slang. (They’re all currently friends. Sorry if their band name is misleading.) Retreevers also recruited Ruben, formerly of Glocca Morra and Matty, formerly of Dipers. (Again, all these people are friends. So sorry for the confusion!) So here are all these Philly friends in Retreevers and Ex Friends being friends and making rad punk music together on their split EP (out on September 4), kicking in two songs each. Mix them up and let the bands run together until they are indistinguishable from one another, creating some sort of ultragroup in your brain. Make sense?
