Who we are

THREE PLAYERS.
NO SINGER.

The band

We began in 2007 as a solo project by guitarist Tosin Abasi and grew into a trio with Javier Reyes on guitar and Matt Garstka on drums. Our name comes from Daniel Quinn's novel Ishmael. Five studio albums later, from Animals as Leaders (2009) to Parrhesia (2022), this store puts our art on tees, hoodies and sweatshirts.
