We’re so glad you stopped by the new Extra Life site. Lots will be happening this year. On April 5, the new EP Ripped Heart comes out on Last Things Records U.S. (12” vinyl and digital) and on LOAF Recordings in Europe (digital only). Four new songs in the key of life.

In April we’ll tour Europe. In July we’ll tour the U.S. with Parenthetical Girls.

The much-belated split single with Larkin Grimm is finally available from Planaria Recordings. It features our cover of R. Kelly’s “Your Body’s Callin’” and two exclusive Larkin tracks.

Stay tuned and please do come see us in the flesh if you can.

mostly love,

Extra Life
