How did you get involved with Warped Tour?īritt: I was going as a fan for as long as I can remember. I didn’t really stay that route just because of money, and merch just took me from there. I wanted to work in either fashion or music and I wanted my work to be in magazines. I didn’t want to become a merchandise manager or a tour manager or any of that.
Touring was a dream of mine, but photography was my number one. I knew that was a job that I wanted to do in the future so I could tour. And if Craig ever reads this - I’m sorry.
I told him I’d do it for per diems, which at the time was $10 a day, and that I’d also do photography.

And - to make a very long story short - his side project needed a merch person, so I kind of lied and said that I knew how to do it. We became friends and maybe saw each other once a year, but they would use my photos. My photos got published in Alternative Press around the same time I met Craig Mabbitt from Escape the Fate. I went to a million shows and I met people. They also offered business classes, so if I wanted to start my own thing I’d have the knowledge to do so. Maybe I do want to do this for the long term.” So I went to Antonelli Institute and got an associates degree in photography. It’s huge now, but in those days to see “Photo by Britt Boyce” on MySpace sparked something in me. That was the start of social media to the point that it is today. I’d bring my disposable cameras, shoot the show, get them developed at Rite-Aid, put the pictures onto CDs, and then all of a sudden those photos were bands’ default pictures on MySpace. And then eventually later on, like junior, senior year, people started forming bands so there would be local shows. She’d give me some and I’d take them to school because I always wanted to capture my friends. As early as I can remember as a kid, my mom always had disposable cameras in the house. What was your first introduction to the music industry?īritt: I basically got into all of this because of photography. I’d say we’re going to continue to stay as busy as we can.Take us back to the very beginning. Since then, we have performed two outdoor shows and have been able to start recording our next projects.
The idea was that once the quarantine was over, we’d have plenty of new material to work on.ĭuring this period we recorded and filmed a video of us playing our track “Jeepers Creepers.” We did this individually in our own homes, playing along to the recording. In the first few weeks, I recorded a bunch of tracks we’d messed around with and some new ideas of my own. While it was definitely a setback, we didn’t let it get us down for very long. It was kind of bittersweet-releasing an album called Cabin Fever Dreams three days after a global quarantine. Three days before that, everyone was put in quarantine. The release show was booked at Johnny Brenda’s and was going to be the first night of a two-week tour.

Like the majority of you, all of us in the Philadelphia area are staying at home, learning to adapt to our “new normal.” MAGNET is checking in with local musicians to see how and what they’re doing during this unprecedented time.
