EMO is a 4-letter word

In the mid-aughts, Dear and the Headlights were at the forefront of the Phoenix music scene and breaking into national acclaim with performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Warped Tour and national tours opening up for Jimmy Eat World and Paramore.

We released and recorded their first demos and debut album ‘Small Steps, Heavy Hooves’ which was picked up by Equal Vision Records.

Although the band went their separate ways almost a decade ago, the influence and cult fanbase remains strong.
