In 2023, a few lucky people saw us perform Hella Good by No Doubt as part of our “From the Garden” concert recording.
We cut it from the main release but we've finally released it on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

Happy Bandcamp Friday! Now's a great time to pick up a copy of our album "Where Lilies Grew" if you've had it on your wishlist :)

The cover for "Where Lilies Grew" by Waxlimbs. White-on-black linework depicts an androgynous figure halfway into mutating into some kind of bird

Re: taking our shit off spotify, it’s possible it won’t have been fully actioned by the 16th. I’ve sent the request but apparently takedowns can take up to 30 days to be completed.

The sooner the better, obviously.

Thanks for coming, we’re turning on the “require alt text to post” setting now :’)

We are incredibly lucky to continue to feel supported by you: fans who value artists, artwork, and understand that creating art should always be true to yourself and your values.

Our most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has ever come to our shows, bought merch, shared our concert film with friends, supported us on Bandcamp, and will continue to back us as we move forward.

If you add to this list is the very small (but true) fact they’ve been stealing just shy of $300 a year from us personally.... we're done.

It is destroying artistry as a viable career, it is funding crimes against humanity, and it is filling your brains with terrible Al slop.
We refuse to have our art be a part of that.

We are sure that anyone who knows anything about who we are, and what we stand for, can pick any number of reasons for why we refuse to be complicit with this platform.

Should have added alt text, sorry! Here’s the text in a thread:

On October 16th, well be releasing our new single "Across the Coals".
It rocks, and we think youll like it.
However, by that time we will have removed our entire catalogue from Spotify.

After tens of thousands of streams, we’re leaving Spotify. Here’s why. Thank you and we love you.

Much of the time, as a musician I feel like my work isn't valued beyond base-level entertainment or that it doesn't have any impact.

Sometimes I am proven wrong in the most spectacular ways. This site has made me so emotional.

The only thing stopping randoms from uploading Suno garbage to your streaming profile is having a unique artist name. This is not good.

Will is on the 4-cable method now. We’re unstoppable. Or at least guitarists might think so

At a friend's request last night, I recorded a video of this @waxlimbs.com song where you can (more or less) actually see which notes I'm playing.
I don't have a digital piano atm so it's an Osmose thing. Pardon my singing.

I don’t want to totally spoil our new music but… this transition feels incredible to play live
