History
The members of the band first met as freshmen at LaGuardia High School in Manhattan, New York City.[2] Following high school, the members pursued solo projects and often collaborated on each other's work. The group officially formed in 2024 following a performance by member Cisco Swank at Baby's All Right in Williamsburg; Cisco did not want to perform, so he invited the other members to perform with him.[2][3] The group began releasing music on Bandcamp with the series Flips, featuring reimagined versions of songs from artists including Mac Miller, SZA, Phoebe Bridgers, and more.[1][4] They also began performing DIY shows across Brooklyn and Downtown Manhattan.[5]
Whatmore released their debut single "Eastside w My Dogs" in June 2025.[5] The following month, they released their second single "Chicken Shop Date".[6] In August, they released the alternative rock single "Go!".[7] Whatmore's self-titled debut album was released in October 2025.[4] In March 2026 they released the two singles “Still Loiteringgg” and “2000s Pop Punk Rnb”.[8] They later released a music video for “2000s Pop Punk Rnb” starring actors Sean Kaufman and Avantika.[9] They also announced their first world tour.[8] In April, they performed at Coachella 2026.[10]
