On 18 May 2018, they released their third single, "Greyhound", as their first single on vinyl. Scout was released on 15 June 2018. On 8 November 2019, the band announced on their official Instagram page that they were parting ways.[2]


Career


Prior to Calpurnia's formation, Finn Wolfhard had met drummer Malcolm Craig in 2014, on the set of the music video for "Guilt Trip" by PUP, while guitarist Ayla Tesler-Mabe was a friend from rock camp and bassist Jack Anderson was recruited for a charity fundraiser.[3] The band officially formed in 2017, with their first release being a cover of "Wanted You" by Twin Peaks.[4]

The band signed with the Canadian independent record label Royal Mountain Records in November 2017 and began recording an EP, with Cadien Lake James of Twin Peaks producing and engineering.[5] In January 2018, the band performed at the Rough Trade in New York City, covering "Here She Comes Now" by The Velvet Underground, "Where Is My Mind?" by Pixies, "El Scorcho" by Weezer and "Butterfly" by Twin Peaks.[6]

The band's official debut, "City Boy", was released on 7 March 2018 and was the lead single of their then-unannounced Scout EP.[7] The single debuted at No. 23 on the Billboard Alternative Digital Song Sales chart with sales of 2,000 units.[8] The second single, "Louie", was released by the band on 12 April, with the band simultaneously announcing the forthcoming release of the Scout EP,[9] slated for 15 June 2018. The band made their television debut on 23 July 2018 as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In February 2019, Weezer featured the four members of Calpurnia as the stars of their new music video for their cover of the a-ha track "Take On Me," from the album Weezer (The Teal Album). The video takes a trip back to the 1980s, paying tribute to the original music video by a-ha.[10] The decision to have Calpurnia participate in the video was solidified after Weezer had requested the band cover their hit song "Say It Ain't So" for Spotify's Under Cover podcast in 2018.[11] The band announced on Instagram that they had split up on 8 November 2019.[2][12]
