Here's the thing about ill peach: this band exists because they are too weird to not exist. The seed of ill peach was planted in the recording studios of New York City where Pat Morrissey and Jess Corazza were working as professional songwriters, collaborating with artists like Icona Pop, SZA, Weezer, Pharrell, Big Freedia, and others. Then came the day they were offered their own publishing deal. Cool, right? Well, about that: "Everyone kept saying, 'The stuff that you're writing is slightly too left-of-center-weirdo stuff," remembers Morrissey.

Thus ill peach, a pop band with a punk streak and a taste for both the rotten and the sweet, with a freewheeling approach to making music. Ill peach's "weirdo stuff" comes to fruition on THIS IS NOT AN EXIT: a collection of anthemic songs built out of bright pop and gritty experimental elements, punctuated with hooky choruses ready to be screamed along to in the safety of your own bedroom or at one of ill peach's intense live shows.
