About this artist
Kansas City’s Greeting Committee emerged in 2014 with an inclusive and upbeat indie rock sound. The band found success the following year with the release of their debut EP, It's Not All That Bad, which yielded the breakout hit “Hands Down.” The song helped them secure a deal with Harvest Records, which issued their first full-length effort, This Is It, in 2018. The following year, the band returned with the more mature and reflective I'm Afraid I'm Not Angry, and in 2021 they released the radiant single “Can I Leave Me Too?”
Formed in 2014 by high school students Addison Sartino (vocals), Brandon Yangmi (guitar), Pierce Turcotte (bass), and Austin Fraser (drums), the buoyant indie pop quartet eventually attracted the attention of local radio personality Lazlo Geiger. Following the release of their debut EP, It's Not All That Bad, things began to move quickly for the young group — the song “Hands Down” became a regional hit — and a deal was soon struck with Los Angeles-based label Harvest Records, which re-released the EP in October 2015. Two years later, the band issued their second EP, Meeting People Is Easy, and in 2018 they released their debut long-player, This Is It. They spent the next year on the road touring alongside contemporaries like Bombay Bicycle Club, Hippo Campus, and Tennis, and in 2019 they released the I'm Afraid I'm Not Angry EP. In 2021, the Greeting Committee landed three songs on the soundtrack for the popular streaming romantic comedy To All the Boys: Always and Forever. That same year also saw the arrival of the heartfelt post-breakup single “Can I Leave Too?” ~ Timothy Monger & James Christopher Monger
