Hi. Today is the day I get to tell you that I signed to
@riserecords
and I’m putting out a full length record next year. To celebrate the end of the - era, here’s a music video. Thank you for being the fuel in my engine. This doesn’t move without you.
PSA: I don’t have it all together. I spend my nights lonely, staring at a wall too.
It’s not a pity party, I’m just leveling the playing field.
The shows you’re living for? We are too.
We’re all human. I don’t have it figured out. I will always need you more than you need me.
I just finished recording some vocals to a song that say a lot of things I was
too scared
too ashamed
too broken
to say before.
Thank you for helping me understand that we should never let feeling "too" anything keep us silent.
After spending a decade of playing shows and having people come to our merch table to ask me which member of the band I'm dating- I feel this hard.
All genders play active and important roles in the music industry. Don't be a weenie and assume otherwise 😇
first day of tour and I had multiple dudes come up to me and ask me which remo member I’m dating to have gotten this gig
not cool!
other than that though I am so beyond stoked to be on this run with such good people get ready for PIX
Once on tour I told someone at the merch table I was feeling a little low + just needed some sunshine.
She responded with “No, you ARE sunshine!!”
She never told me her name, but remembering those encouraging words got me out of bed this morning.
Thanks, whoever you are.
I spent way too long trying to avoid writing “girly lyrics” and looking “too feminine” because certain people wouldn’t take me seriously.
Listen up, friends.
People who don’t take you seriously because of your gender are people whose opinion shouldn’t be take seriously by you.
I always creep on your profiles when you interact with my posts and I just wanted to say - DAYUMMM. Y’all are cute as heck and so nice. You have some sexy hearts. HOT HEART CITY. 😍
Changed my profile piccy to one from these last shows because it was such a happy weekend with so many friends and I want us to remember the joy and community we all felt and etc and stuff.

Keep fighting for the life you know you want. Even when you feel like it’s too late, or you’re too old.
There’s nothing greater than realizing you have a life that your teenage self would have killed for.
There’s still time.
Hiya. It’s me, your mom. Just wanted to pop in to tell you to keep talking about the things that mean something to you, even when other people don’t see the same importance of your thoughts.
Thinking about things on a more complex level than other people doesn’t make you weird.
Yes, I know my voice sounds like a Disney character.
No, I don’t think that means I should sing “softer” music.
But also, yes, PLEASE let me be the voice character for a children’s show who gets to sing about friendship I AM BEGGING YOU.
Please keep being your incredibly sensitive and emo self. There are so many other sensitive emo people that NEED YOU.
You’re not broken, you’re just blessed with the ability to feel.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I’m happy you’re alive. Whatever that thing / those things you thought would kill you didn’t win, and I am so glad you’re here. I’m proud of you for making it through and I love you.
Despite all the discouraging things happening in our music scene, I wanted to take a second to say that good musicians do exist.
@KnucklePuckIL
@movementsCA
and
@homesafeIL
are all amazingly genuine, kind and encouraging people. Thank you for letting us join your tour family. 💛
You guys are my best friends.
Today is my birthday and you’re all invited via twitter to celebrate. Feel free to doll up and send me selfies of you celebrating and feelin like fire. That’s all I want, a happy boney fam! Cheers*
*raises red bull
Sometimes I tweet things that are obviously in support of the queer community and people get excited and call me an ally which is cool and stuff.
But imma say this once-
My publicly known heteronormative relationships do not mean I’m heterosexual.
NOT BY A LONG SHOT. 🌈🥰
You have no idea how much it means to me anytime one of you tells me that you needed one of these songs.
You don’t realize that I need you so much more.
I am not the strong one - I am only the result of all of you holding me up.
I’m always the only person trying to dance at a bar / restaurant / coffee shop when a song I like comes on. If that is you, I hope our paths cross.
Forget about everyone else.
Experience your joy. You deserve it.
The nights you spend dancing are the ones you’ll remember 🖤💛
sometimes
when your legs feel weak
and you collapse under the weight of yourself
it is okay
to have a long cry
and use the creek you've made
to carry yourself to a dry place.
and I do it too
we are all such good swimmers
I’ve been working on something that I think might break your hearts.!I want to apologize in advance.
But I also want to make you cry.
I’m sorry, but when it comes to art, the monster always wins.
Yo, that line in Spokes that says “It’s like a death wish spinning in your hindsight” is about retrospectively viewing the suicical thoughts you escaped.
I promise I’m only ever writing the things I need(ed) to hear too.
Thanks for singing them back to me.
Do me a favor. Reach out to that friend you haven’t talked to in a minute. The one you miss, the one you love who time and life pulled you away from recently.
Let’s stop telling ourselves we are going to reach out and just do it today. Deal?
Happy Friday! This is your mother, popping in to remind you that I believe in you.
Nobody knows your heart like you do.
You’re allowed to better yourself.
You deserve to embrace opportunities that benefit your mental health.
Asking for help is awesome.
Have a good weekend!
So my roommate is moving out and I’ve decided to turn her room into a dance studio with a mirrored wall and a closet full of vintage clothes that I’m going to sell.
Cheers to embracing the terrifying reality of chasing your dreams to the fullest extent. I’ll see you there 💛
People complain all the time that our stage banter and talking is “unprofessional” and “boring” but I’m not here to be a script or a facade. I’m just a person and that’s the one thing I want you to take away. Thanks for sticking around while we play human 🖤💛
Wait so tiktok is doing a fundraiser based around the ocean and none of y’all have made a video with coasting lines yet?
Which means IM going to have to start using tiktok.
Which means MY DREAMS can finally come true?
I would like to formally apologize (again) for the record I’m recording (right now) because I know some of you are going to jump ship when you hear it.
Here’s hoping we can still be friends after we break up 💛🖤
Tonight I crushed anxiety by running barefoot into the ocean in freezing weather, dancing and laughing.
This was followed by a baby impromptu signing celebration.
Your hardest days always have the potential to turn into the best nights, and I’m marking this a great one. 🥳
we spent a month finding meaning and happiness in sweaty rooms of people willing to feel.
thank you to everyone who shared that with us.
i promise this isn't the end, it's just the beginning. 💛

- we love you more than words.
If you look at the lyrics with the vinyl, they read “mourning clothes”.
It’s the phrase I use to describe the outfit you get stuck in when you stay home all day. A sweatshirt over your pjs, the same shirt you slept in. Depression wear.
The clothes you stay in, when you stay in.
Hey
@jettybonesmusic
just curious if morning clothes has a second meaning of “mourning clothes” because of loss of a friendship and a organ playing at the end which I usually an instrument used during worship. I could be 100% wrong though.
I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for being patient and understanding when I don’t post much in the winter. I have pretty severe seasonal affective depression and these days weigh on me heavily. Thanks for being here even when I’m fairly absent - it keeps me going💛
I know that my whole deal is to love people, to encourage them and try to make every single person understand how important and valid they are to this world. With that being said, I feel like it’s crucial for me to say this today.
fuuuuuuuuck trump.
Why do Pokémon get less cute when they evolve? Why can’t they stay super adorably cute AND evolve into strong fighters. How come they aren’t allowed to do that but we are? 🥺
You know how sometimes we do that thing where we share our fur baby photos to cheer each other up? Can we do that today? I need it. I’ll even go first.
Here are my last pictures with Alby before leaving for the studio.
Can’t wait for the first interviewer that asks what I gained while writing the new record.
Spoiler alert: it was twenty-two lbs and highly discouraging debt. So anyway whenever it finally comes out I hope you like it and we can go jean shopping together.
Hey! This site is streaming our new EP.
BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO THIS-
I wanted to take a second to let you know that the opening track may be triggering for anyone who has experienced any degree of assault or abuse, sexual or otherwise.
On their new 6 song EP,
@jettybonesmusic
tackles heavier themes, addressing difficult subjects such as mental health and trauma.
We are premiering the full EP now. Take a listen and be on the lookout for their upcoming tour with
@MatKerekes
.
Oh by the way I have a new song coming out at midnight, then a new music video + a nice lil announcement tomorrow!
*clears throat*
*speaks in a hushed tone*
i am excited.
I can’t believe I get to say this, buuuut we are going on tour with
@newfoundglory
@HawthorneHgts
and
@FreeThrowEmo
.
Hugs + friendship available at the shows.
Tickets to those shows available here:
I’ve blatantly dropped that I’m not heterosexual at least four times tonight and my dad overlooked it.
I will come out to my dad before I turn 30 in June. I promise.
Uh, almost six years ago I asked everyone if they had ever smelled the freezer air in the frozen food aisle of an outdated grocery store, but not a damn person has answered the question.
Hey,
@DollSkinBand
.
The gas station attendant asked me about your shirt today and I told her you are a really good non-male band that she should check out.
She asked if you sound like Evanescence and Icon For Hire.
I… I just said yes. I lied for you.
Life is such an impossibly beautiful struggle and it never ceases to amaze me that somehow in the midst of it all, we have been gifted with the ability to laugh.
Love is the greatest gift we can possibly receive and we are all capable of giving it.
Isn't that INSANE?
Hi, it’s late but this is important and I want to be clear.
TW suicide / death
If you are listening to the new record, please be aware that there are songs that may be triggering because the record heavily revolves around my mental health struggles.
If we ever did a tour like that, I think it means the world is broken. Like, smashed into tiny pieces that are on fire and sprinkling across lakes of lava kind of broken.
Would be pretty tight though.
This is not a bit, this is a very real question. If there was a Jetty Bones musical and it came to your town in a theater, not as a show but as a full musical production… Would you go?
Idk who needs to hear this, but that voice in your head saying “no one would notice if I wasn’t here” is lying to you.
I don’t care if it’s a zoom call or a safe family gathering that you all quarantined to prep for - you would be missed.
And even more likely, you are missed.
