Laundry Day (stylized in all caps) is an American pop rock band from Manhattan, New York, formed in 2018. The group currently consists of vocalist Jude Ciulla-Lipkin, vocalist and drummer Sawyer Nunes, guitarist Henry Weingartner, and bassist Henry Pearl. The band was formed while all four current members were students at Beacon High School.
Key Information
History
[edit]Vocalists Sawyer Nunes and Jude Ciulla-Lipkin, who had been friends prior to starting the band, began making music together while attending Beacon High School in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan in New York City. Nunes had previously appeared on Broadway, in the original Broadway casts of Finding Neverland as George Llewelyn Davies and Gettin' the Band Back Together as Ricky.[2] After the two created their first song together, their friends/classmates Henry Weingartner and Etai Abramovich joined the band. Henry Pearl, another friend from Beacon, joined the band shortly after.[3]
Laundry Day released their debut album, Trumpet Boy, in March 2018, via their independent label Polo and Fomo.[4] That same month, they embarked on their first national tour, the All My Friends Tour, to promote the album.
Their second studio album, Homesick, was released in March 2019. The album was co-produced with Romil Hemnani of Brockhampton and recorded partially at Shangri-La Studio.[3] The band performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October 2019,[1] and in November 2019, they performed at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.[5] That same month, they played as an opening act for The 1975 during the North American leg of their Music for Cars tour,[6] and played as an opening act for Clairo in December 2019 during the European leg of her Immunity Tour.[7] Their song "Friends" was used as the closing song in the season 3 finale of the Netflix series On My Block.[8]
In February 2022, they released their fourth album, We Switched Bodies.[9] Their fifth album, Younger Than I Was Before, was released in September 2023.[10]
In 2024, drummer Etai Abramovich stepped away from the band to pursue personal ambitions.[11][12] The band played as the opening act for the Spend The Night Tour by Teezo Touchdown in March, and opened for Ed Sheeran at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York in May.[11]

Background
Formation
Laundry Day was formed in 2016 by high school friends Sawyer Nunes and Jude Ciulla-Lipkin at Beacon High School, a selective public school in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.[2] The duo, who had bonded over shared musical interests during their freshman year, expanded the project into a full band after collaborating on initial songwriting and recordings using the school's resources, including GarageBand software during lunch periods and after-school sessions in the basement studio.[8] This formative environment fostered a sense of creative independence, as the group experimented with pop-rock arrangements inspired by their teenage experiences.[9] The initial lineup featured Nunes handling vocals and drums, Ciulla-Lipkin on lead vocals, Henry Weingartner on guitar, Etai Abramovich on drums, and Henry Pearl on bass, creating a quintet that emphasized multi-instrumental versatility and harmonious dual vocals. All members were students at Beacon High School, where their friendship and musical synergy developed organically through casual jam sessions that evolved into structured rehearsals.[10] This core group dynamic allowed for rapid song development, with the band drawing on their youthful energy to blend indie pop elements with raw, unpolished production.[2] Embodying a strong DIY ethos from the outset, Laundry Day honed their sound through school performances and self-recorded demos shared on platforms like SoundCloud, often booking early gigs by directly emailing local venues as sophomores.[11] These experiences built their confidence in independent production, prioritizing accessible tools and collaborative creativity over professional studios. The band released their earliest single, "Thunder and Rain", on May 1, 2017, followed by the EP It's Cool It's Whatever later that year and the EP Trumpet Boy on March 23, 2018, which showcased their evolving style through tracks like the title song.[12][13][14]Early influences and style
Laundry Day's core genre emerged as pop rock infused with genre-defying experimental elements, drawing from a blend of alternative pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz, punk, R&B, and trap beats that defied easy categorization.[15][16] This sound was shaped during their formative years at Beacon High School in New York City, where the band members—initially Jude Ciulla-Lipkin, Henry Pearl, Henry Weingartner, Etai Abramovich, and Sawyer Nunes—began experimenting with diverse influences to create something uniquely their own.[2] As guitarist Henry Weingartner noted, "We have trouble finding a specific genre that we can put ourselves into... We’re trying to create something of our own."[15] The band's DIY multi-instrumentalist approach was a hallmark from the start, with members fluidly switching instruments during both recording and performances to foster collaboration and spontaneity.[2] They composed and recorded early tracks using GarageBand on school-issued laptops during lunch breaks, leveraging Beacon High's resources and their shared musical theater backgrounds to build a democratic creative process where ideas were shouted out collectively in the same room.[2][17] Drummer Etai Abramovich described this as, "It’s all of us in the same room, we just shout out whatever idea we have."[17] This method not only reflected their high school environment but also echoed inspirations from the New York indie scene, where they drew energy from acts like Brockhampton and Tyler, the Creator, whose genre-blending and communal ethos influenced their push for originality.[16] Early hallmarks of Laundry Day's style included humorous, relatable lyrics rooted in teenage experiences and high-energy live shows that emphasized intimacy and fun.[2] Their songwriting captured the chaos of youth with witty, self-deprecating humor reminiscent of Glee or The Lonely Island, while performances featured wild, engaging antics that connected directly with peers.[2] As Weingartner explained, "We’re just 17 year olds and the people who are listening to the music are 17 year olds," highlighting the band's focus on authentic, experiential storytelling over polished convention.[15] This foundation, honed through high school music programs and NYC's vibrant indie circuit—where they opened for artists like Clairo—set the stage for their experimental evolution in later works like We Switched Bodies.[2]History
2018–2020: Debut and early releases
Laundry Day released their debut album, Trumpet Boy, in March 2018 through their independent label, Polo and Fomo, marking the band's initial foray into recording as high school students. The project, which they began developing in late 2017, showcased their early blend of indie pop and alternative rock, recorded with limited production resources in makeshift home setups. This self-released effort helped establish their sound and garnered initial attention from online music communities.[18] Building on this momentum, the band followed up with the HOMESICK album in March 2019, also via Polo and Fomo, co-produced with Romil Hemnani of Brockhampton fame. The release featured tracks like "Friends," which later gained broader exposure when it was used as the closing song in the season 3 finale of Netflix's On My Block in March 2020. During this period, Laundry Day balanced their creative output with high school commitments, often recording late at night or on weekends, which constrained their ability to tour extensively or invest in professional studio time.[19][2][20] In 2019, the band embarked on their first headlining tour, the All My Friends Tour, in August, performing across North American venues to connect with growing fanbases in cities like Toronto and Los Angeles. They also made notable festival debuts, including a set at Austin City Limits in October, where their energetic performance on the BMI Stage drew praise for their youthful charisma despite their inexperience. This was followed by an appearance at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in November, further elevating their profile among larger audiences. These early live shows were logistically challenging, as the members juggled travel with academic schedules and relied on grassroots promotion.[21][22][23] By early 2020, Laundry Day signed a deal with Warner Records in June, providing crucial support as they began work on their first full-length album, We Switched Bodies, that February. The pandemic halted live performances shortly after shows at venues like the Bowery Ballroom in January and the Roxy in February, forcing the band to pivot to remote collaboration amid ongoing resource limitations from their independent roots. This period of isolation tested their resilience but laid the groundwork for more polished productions ahead.[2]2021–2023: Breakthrough period
In 2021, Laundry Day built on their early momentum from the NME 100 list of essential new artists, which had highlighted them in January 2020 and continued to draw industry attention through subsequent media features and playlist inclusions. The band transitioned to a major-label partnership with Warner Records via their independent imprint Polo and Fomo, marking a pivotal shift that enabled broader distribution and production resources. This period saw the group refine their sound amid the post-pandemic recovery, focusing on live performances and digital engagement to expand their audience.[24][25] The breakthrough solidified in February 2022 with the release of their major-label debut album We Switched Bodies, a 10-track project co-produced by Kevin Abstract and Romil Hemnani of Brockhampton, alongside Brendan O'Brien, which explored themes of personal growth and relationships through a blend of pop-rock and indie elements. The album's rollout included singles like "Did You Sleep Last Night?" and "Connect the Dots," contributing to a surge in streaming activity as the band toured extensively, including support slots for established acts such as The 1975 and Clairo during North American and European legs. These performances, combined with headline shows on the We Switched Bodies Tour, helped elevate their profile, with tracks gaining traction on platforms like Spotify and TikTok through fan-shared live sessions and covers. By mid-2022, the band's monthly Spotify listeners had grown significantly, reflecting heightened visibility from these efforts.[25][26][2] In 2023, Laundry Day released their fifth studio album Younger Than I Was Before in two acts— the first 12 tracks on June 30 and the remaining 14, including skits, on September 1—self-released after being dropped by Warner Records following its submission.[27][2] The ambitious 26-track concept album, centered on themes of youth and regression, further showcased their evolving artistry and DIY ethos. Fanbase expansion accelerated via TikTok, where user-generated covers and clips from live sessions amassed millions of views; for instance, the track "Merrily" exceeded 10 million views, driving streaming spikes and social media buzz. The year also featured high-profile support gigs and continued touring, solidifying their rising status in the indie scene before transitioning to new opportunities in 2024.2024–present: Expansion and recent projects
In early 2024, Laundry Day underwent a significant lineup change when drummer Etai Abramovich departed the band to pursue personal goals, an amicable split that marked a pivotal shift for the group.[2][28] The remaining members—Sawyer Nunes, Jude Ciulla-Lipkin, Henry Weingartner, and Henry Pearl—continued as a quartet, with Nunes taking on drumming duties alongside his vocal and guitar roles, allowing the band to maintain its high-energy live performances.[29] This adjustment coincided with increased visibility, as the band leveraged social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels to share comedic covers of popular songs, such as Bruno Mars' "Grenade," which contributed to their viral breakthrough and expanded fanbase throughout the year.[2] Building on this momentum, Laundry Day secured high-profile opening slots, including Teezo Touchdown's Spend The Night Tour in March 2024 and Ed Sheeran's X 10th anniversary show at Barclays Center in May 2024, experiences that honed their stage presence and connected them with broader audiences.[30][31][28] In 2025, the band focused on new music, releasing the single "Other Side of the World" on February 14, accompanied by a music video on March 13 that featured interactive fan campaigns like city-wide posters.[32][33] This was followed by "SUPERMODEL" on August 22, a track teased through social media snippets that highlighted their pop-rock evolution.[34][35] The culmination of these efforts arrived with the release of their sixth studio album, EARWORM, on October 10, 2025, via the Warner-partnered label R&R, featuring 10 tracks emphasizing catchy, infectious hooks.[36][2][37] To promote the album, Laundry Day launched The Time of Your Life Tour in 2025, headlining fall dates including a co-tour with Malcom Todd from September 18 to 25, alongside select shows with openers like Whatmore, solidifying their transition to major touring acts.[38][7][39]Artistry
Musical style
Laundry Day's musical style is characterized by a dynamic blend of pop rock with indie, hip-hop, and electronic influences, creating a versatile sound that defies strict genre boundaries.[15][16] Their tracks often feature high-energy, anthemic choruses designed for communal listening and live crowds, incorporating elements like pop-punk rhythms, R&B melodies, trap beats, and indie experimentation to maintain an upbeat, "auxible" vibe.[3][40] This genre fluidity is evident in songs that seamlessly shift from hip-hop verses to boy-band-style hooks and rock-driven climaxes, reflecting the band's refusal to settle into a single mold.[40][41] Lyrically, Laundry Day explores themes of youth, relationships, humor, and urban life in New York City, often through vivid storytelling that captures the chaos of growing up and personal evolution.[41][3] Their narratives draw from high school experiences and city dynamics, blending introspective reflections on change and friendship with witty, relatable observations on romance and success, sometimes juxtaposing sad lyrics against upbeat instrumentation for emotional contrast.[17][41] This approach infuses their music with a playful humor, making it accessible and resonant for young audiences navigating similar transitions.[42] In terms of production, the band began with self-recorded works using laptops, influenced by their high school music classes, which allowed for raw, DIY experimentation.[41] As they evolved, their sound grew more polished following their 2020 signing with Warner Music Group and major-label debut in 2022, with further refinement after signing with R&R Digital in 2024 and incorporating collaborations with producers like Hazey Eyes and Alexander 23 to achieve a quirky yet refined aesthetic recorded over extended sessions in Los Angeles for their 2025 album EARWORM.[2][3][43] This progression maintains a loose, messy energy while enhancing layers like electronic beats and guitar-driven grooves.[3][44] Their live performances emphasize high-energy chaos and fun, with raw delivery, audience interaction, and a focus on creating immersive experiences through mosh pits and crowd participation.[3][41] The band's sets often feel improvisational, prioritizing connection and spontaneity over rigid structure, which amplifies the playful, communal spirit of their music.[3]Influences and collaborations
Laundry Day's primary influences include Tyler, the Creator and Brockhampton, which have shaped their energetic fusion of rap, rock, and pop elements drawn from the vibrant New York music scenes.[16][45] These inspirations are evident in the band's collaborative songwriting process and their incorporation of genre-blending production techniques, contributing to a style that echoes the experimental edge of their New York rap and rock contemporaries.[46] The band has engaged in notable collaborations with emerging artists, including featuring vocalist Matilda Marigolds on their 2023 track "My Life," which highlights their affinity for integrating fresh indie voices into their pop-rock framework.[47] Additionally, Laundry Day has served as an opening act for prominent tours, such as The 1975's shows, Clairo's performances, and Teezo Touchdown's Spend The Night Tour in 2024, allowing them to share stages and build connections within the alternative and hip-hop scenes.[2][30][48] In terms of label partnerships, Laundry Day began with independent releases before establishing their own imprint, Polo and Fomo, for early projects like their 2018 album Trumpet Boy.[16] They signed with Warner Records in 2020, marking their major-label debut with We Switched Bodies in 2022.[25][2] During their 2022–2023 breakthrough period, the band received mentorship from indie producers, including Romil Hemnani of Brockhampton and Brendan O'Brien, who co-produced elements of their work and provided guidance on refining their sound amid rising visibility.[49] This collaboration extended to working with producer and videographer Skivon starting in 2022, who assisted in production and social media strategy to amplify their breakthrough momentum.[2]Public image and reception
Social media presence
Laundry Day maintains a strong presence across multiple social media platforms, primarily utilizing Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to connect with fans and promote their music. On Instagram, under the handle @daundrylay, the band has amassed 254,000 followers as of 2025, where they share updates on releases, tour announcements, and personal glimpses into band life.[50] Their TikTok account, also @daundrylay, boasts 266,100 followers and has accumulated 24.3 million likes, serving as a key hub for short-form content that has propelled their visibility.[51] The YouTube channel, dedicated to music videos, live performances, and documentaries, counts 27,900 subscribers and features official releases alongside behind-the-scenes footage.[52] The band's social media strategy gained significant traction in 2024 through a viral surge driven by comedic covers and parodies of popular songs on TikTok and Instagram Reels, transforming their high school-era buzz into a global audience. Examples include a parody of "Can I Call You Rose?" which garnered 523,400 likes, and a cover of Bruno Mars' "Grenade" that received 515,300 likes, contributing to their overall digital momentum ahead of the EARWORM album release. This approach, highlighted in profiles as a deliberate lean into humor and algorithm-friendly skits, helped expand their reach without relying solely on traditional promotion.[2][4] Content on these platforms emphasizes fan engagement through behind-the-scenes tour vlogs, lighthearted skits, and interactive Q&A sessions, fostering a sense of community among listeners. For instance, TikTok videos often feature band members in playful scenarios, such as humorous takes on daily life or music creation, while Instagram Reels complement this with quick updates and fan shoutouts. The official website, daundrylay.com, integrates social media by directing users to these platforms for tour ticket purchases and further interaction, reinforcing their online ecosystem.[7] This digital engagement has been instrumental in building a dedicated fanbase, bridging their early New York roots to international appeal prior to major milestones like EARWORM.Critical and media recognition
Laundry Day received early critical attention when NME included them on its 2020 list of 100 essential new artists, highlighting the band's potential as an emerging pop-rock act from New York City.[24] This recognition positioned them alongside other promising talents, emphasizing their fresh sound and youthful energy shortly after their formation in 2016. Complex also spotlighted the band as one of the best new artists of June 2019, noting their sold-out shows in New York and upcoming tour announcements as signs of rapid grassroots momentum. The band's 2023 album Younger Than I Was Before garnered positive reviews for its innovative blend of recycled sounds presented in a modern, cutting-edge manner. I Heart Noise praised the record for feeling "extremely fresh," crediting Laundry Day's ability to revitalize past influences into something vibrant and engaging.[53] Their 2025 release EARWORM continued this trajectory, with Real Goblin describing it as a "breath of fresh air" due to its fun, witty lyricism and youthful vibe, marking a maturation in the band's songwriting while retaining their playful essence.[54] Media coverage has further amplified Laundry Day's profile, often portraying them as an energetic, under-the-radar NYC outfit gaining traction through viral online presence. Rolling Stone featured the band in 2024, commending their music as "pretty good" beyond their humorous social media covers and noting praise from artists like Drake.[4] In November 2025, Interview Magazine profiled their touring life in a Tour Diary installment, capturing the group's high-spirited road experiences while promoting EARWORM and underscoring their dynamic live energy.[3] This coverage reflects a growing consensus among critics that Laundry Day's blend of humor, virality, and musicality has solidified their place in the indie pop-rock scene.Band members
Current members
The current lineup of Laundry Day consists of four members who have been central to the band's evolution since its formation in 2016.[55] Sawyer Nunes serves as a founding member, handling vocals, guitar, keyboards, and drums, while also acting as the primary songwriter for much of the band's material.[56][57] Nunes, who co-founded the band with Jude Ciulla-Lipkin during their time at Beacon High School in New York City, began contributing multi-instrumental elements from the outset, including production on early releases like the 2019 album HOMESICK.[15] Following the departure of former drummer Etai Abramovich in 2024, Nunes assumed full drum duties for live performances, marking a significant adaptation in the band's rhythm section that has shaped their sound in recent tours and recordings.[2][58] Jude Ciulla-Lipkin, the band's co-founder, provides lead and harmony vocals, often trading off with Nunes to create their signature dual-vocal dynamic.[3][54] This approach, evident in tracks from their 2025 album EARWORM, allows for fluid shifts in melody and energy during both studio work and live shows.[59] Henry Weingartner, a founding member since 2016, serves as the band's guitarist and backing vocalist, playing a key role in developing their live arrangements and contributing to the group's energetic stage presence.[15][3] His guitar work provides textural depth, particularly in the band's pop-rock fusions since 2024.[10] Henry Pearl, a founding member since 2016, anchors the rhythm section on bass, offering a solid foundation that supports the band's upbeat tempos and collaborative song structures.[15][3] Pearl's contributions have been essential in maintaining cohesion during the post-2024 lineup changes and expansions into new projects.[59]Former members
Etai Abramovich served as the drummer for Laundry Day from 2016 to 2024, contributing significantly to the band's early development as an original member.[2] He played on key releases including the 2019 album Homesick and the 2022 album We Switched Bodies, where his drumming helped establish the group's high-energy, genre-blending pop rock sound.[2] Abramovich's multifaceted role extended to songwriting and production during the band's formative years at Beacon High School in New York City.[2] In early January 2024, Abramovich amicably departed the band following a monthlong meditation retreat over the 2023 holidays, choosing to pursue personal interests outside of music.[2] The exit was emotional but supportive, with the remaining members reaffirming their commitment during a group meeting.[2] No replacement was sought, leading the band to restructure as a quartet, with vocalist Sawyer Nunes assuming drumming duties for subsequent projects.[2] This transition marked a new chapter, allowing the group to channel renewed energy into their evolving sound.[2]Discography

Laundry Day's debut studio album, Trumpet Boy, was released on March 23, 2018, through their independent label Polo and Fomo. The 12-track project, recorded during their high school years, showcases early experimentation with pop rock and indie influences, establishing their youthful, collaborative sound.[14][60] Their second album, Keep It Bright, followed on June 16, 2018, also via Polo and Fomo. Featuring 11 tracks, it builds on their debut with brighter, more anthemic songs exploring summer themes and relationships, further developing their genre-blending style.[61][62] The band's third album, HOMESICK, was released on March 22, 2019, via Polo and Fomo, co-produced by Romil Hemnani of Brockhampton and partially recorded at Shangri-La Studios.
