May 8, 2025 – Los Angeles, CA — Emo / pop-punk band Good Terms and music education platform Musora interrupt your regularly scheduled doom-scrolling to invite you to their upcoming Walk-A-Thon Hiking Event in support of Notes For Notes, a nonprofit providing free access to musical instruments, instruction, and studio environments for youth. The Walk-A-Thon was inspired in part by the band’s recent stop at Musora, where they filmed an “On The Spot” feature following along as they crafted their own cover of Blondie’s “Call Me”. The event is set to take place on May 24th, and all fans, friends, and industry professionals are welcome to join the fundraising efforts in-person at Elysian Park in Los Angeles (1025 Elysian Park Dr) or virtually around the globe. Musora will be pledging a matching donation in the form of platform subscriptions, to be distributed through Notes For Notes’ system of studios nationwide.
RSVP to the upcoming event now, here: https://forms.gle/gJ3M3ecW2ro3eJsW8.
The Walk-A-Thon will be taking place in conjunction with the release of the band’s new single “Progress” (out 5/21), a song that explores the emotional challenge of perseverance when on the brink of burnout. The goal of both the event and the new single are to remind everyone of the impact we can make when we’re all on the same team, and of the power of pausing to celebrate the small victories along the way.
Earlier this year vocalist Brian McShea and fiancée Stephanie Raynor lost their home in the California wildfires, their story capturing national attention. The outpouring of love and support reminded the couple and their extended Good Terms family of the importance of community. Through “Progress” and events like the upcoming Walk-A-Thon, the group is choosing to focus on gratitude and giving back.
Good Terms will be on tour supporting Youth Fountain later this month. The full US run kicks off on May 28th. Following the tour, they’ll be back on the road with Emery throughout the summer. Tickets for all upcoming dates are on sale now and available at https://goodtermsband.com/tour.
More about Good Terms:
Good Terms released their latest album, Burnout, in 2024. With it they dismantled any preconception of who they are and what they sound like, putting every musical option back on the table and diving headfirst into every unorthodox influence. Burnout is anxious, hopeful, confused, angsty, longing, joyous, loving, regretful, pissed, wistful, sincere, and cathartic. It juxtaposes moments that feel like the sonic recreation of the dread meme with others that feel like the triumphant ending scene of The Land Before Time. This album will have you simultaneously clearing your sinuses from extreme levels of stank face, dusting off your old air guitar, wanting to do spin kicks in your living room, reconnecting with your younger self, and wishing that you took an extra bite of your crazy aunt’s special brownie. It’s mosh ready, 420 friendly, and hell yeah brother approved.
Over the last year, Burnout has seen support from stations such as SiriusXM Faction Punk and idobi Radio on rotation. The band has toured on the record all throughout North America, including a sold out direct support tour with Hawthorne Heights and west coast tour with Driveways. You can find Burnout in vinyl shops as Banquet Records, Rough Trade (EU/UK), Amoeba Records, Fingerprints Records, and many more.
Now Good Terms is ready to leap forward with “Progress”, as they continue to build upon the success of Burnout and channel their eclectic influences into something that sounds fresh and invigorated.
