Griffen Handshake on working with The Blossom Sessions:

“We are so grateful to have gotten to be on The Blossom Sessions. It was so much fun filming the song, and Ale’s vision and passion for the project made this a very enjoyable project. We wanted to re-imagine ‘Wings’ in a more stripped-down way. The song is about the process of creating and the mental barriers that can occur throughout the creation process. More specifically, I was wrestling with the prompt: ‘What is the point of writing a song about someone who will never know it exists?’ Our aim was to musically capture that lonely emotion that the creative process generally possesses. We hope you enjoy this new version of ‘Wings,’ and we want to give a big thanks to Ale for the platform to re-imagine the track!”

The Griffen Handshake is not only a secret handshake, but also a trio of musicians: Millen Schuchert, Arjun Schuchert, and Gio Mori. These three are proud members of the underground punk scene in their hometown, Pittsburgh, PA. Their new EP, Three Strikes and You’re Out is their most ambitious work to date. It features “Wings,” an introspective track about feeling like you’re growing as an artist and person but simultaneously feeling invisible to the world. It includes the band’s previous 2024 single, “Kicking Rocks,” and the dance-infused “Morgan.”
The EP is rounded out by the cold yet soothing “Unclear,” and the chaotic title track itself. Griffen Handshake have played countless shows throughout their hometown and across the Mid-Atlantic region. They were featured on Pittsburgh’s renowned radio station, WDVE, with a live interview and performance of, “All My Friends Wanna Be Doctors” earlier in 2024. Their former major releases include their highly energetic EP, IN YOUR FACE in December 2022 and their debut, experimental album, MY BOX in April 2021.
