Initially a solo project, Ryan became increasingly more collaborative leading up to the debut album, 2017’s How You Gonna Stop It?, where the brothers realized they missed creating music as a duo and immediately began work on Mating Ritual’s sophomore album, the post punk leaning, critically acclaimed Light Myself On Fire.
As part of a one time joke that’s becoming reality, the brothers jumped ahead of schedule on their 5 albums in 5 years plan, finishing a third LP only months after LMOF. Named after their least favorite hashtag, Hot Content refines the sounds and ideas created on the first two albums, fusing the pop sensibilities of the debut with the more artistic impulses of their sophomore. Hot Content is slated for release May 10, 2019, on Ryan’s own label, Smooth Jaws.

Toledo is Dan and Jordan, with their dankest powers combined, are TOLEDO. Let me paint a powerful picture for you, detailing those powers: while they write music together, this intense level of cerebral fusion oftentimes yields a strange purple steam emitting from Dan's ears, nose, and eyes (simultaneously), and sometimes causes Jordan to inexplicably and without hesitation speak fluent Mandarin. I've seen it myself, along with other weird otherworldly happenings, and it's disturbing. Also I swear on my ex-wife's complicated, room-temperature, mildly endearing heart they aren't as sad in real life as some of their early experimental songs might suggest. They're weirdos, but happy. Trust me I've spent a lot of time with them... btw I'm Ralph - mgmt.
Jordan likes anime and peanut butter in his ramen noodles, while Dan enjoys tortellini and jogging many miles. They reside in together in Brooklyn, New York as of August 2018. The guys think the sounds of acts ranging from Alvvays and Feist, to Grizzly Bear and Beach Fossils, are cool.
Their debut EP, 'Hot Stuff', was released February '19 independently with AWAL. There will be a few singles released before then. Speaking of single, Dan is single and he tells me he wants a girlfriend but I think he should just enjoy living in the ci
