Dynamics In The Morning — A Leap in Style and Substance

In 2024, When In May returned with their sophomore EP, Dynamics In The Morning. With it came what can only be described as “messy intelligence”—a fearless approach to songwriting that disregards genre borders. Where most bands try to find their lane, When In May swerves between them—alt-rock, indie pop, emo, and cinematic ambient moments crash together in surprisingly beautiful harmony.

This release isn’t just an evolution—it’s a declaration. You can feel the band’s confidence in every bassline, every vocal bend, every lyric that dares you to look a little deeper. Rather than polish away their chaos, they’ve embraced it—and in doing so, made it their strength.

Connect with When In May

There’s something unforgettable about a band that doesn’t just want your attention—it demands it. Enter When In May, the genre-fluid, emotionally driven alt-rock duo who’ve made their mark since their spontaneous formation on New Year’s Eve, 2022. With Brett Fitzpatrick and Keon Nahali at the creative core, this act has grown into one of the most intriguing new forces in indie music today.

The Art of Demand, Not Request

What separates When In May from the pack is the attitude. They don't tiptoe into your ears or sneak onto your playlist—they march right in with emotional intensity and sonic power. There’s a certain magic to their refusal to conform. They’re not trying to be the next The 1975 or Arctic Monkeys—they’re trying to be the first and only When In May.

Whether you're catching them on Spotify, stumbling across them in a curated indie playlist, or seeing them on stage for the first time, you’ll quickly realize: this isn’t background music. This is the main event.

From Cheap Red Wine to Full-Fledged Soundscapes

The band’s introduction to the world was "Cheap Red Wine", a debut single that quickly amassed over 100,000 streams across platforms—a testament to its raw vulnerability and sonic charm. The song's title alone evokes a sense of nostalgia, longing, and unfiltered emotion, themes that run consistently through the band’s work.

Following this success, the duo strategically released "After The Breakup" and "Silhouette", forming a carefully orchestrated waterfall release strategy leading up to their debut EP, Lying About Silly Things. This project revealed the group’s early sonic DNA—melancholy, sarcasm, sentimentality, and a touch of rebellion—crafted through vibrant guitar riffs, ambient layering, and lyrically sharp storytelling.

With two EPs that span heartbreak, chaos, introspection, and power, When In May is one of the most refreshing and authentic voices in today’s underground music scene. Whether you start with Cheap Red Wine or dive into Dynamics In The Morning, the message is clear: You don’t find their music—it finds you.
