Retirement Party


Retirement Party is an American emo group from Chicago, Illinois.

History

The group originally began in Troy, Michigan under the name Sunglasses on a Plane. Under that name, the group was just a duo fronted by Avery Springer, whose sole release was an EP titled Excess Company. After changing their name to Retirement Party, the band – now consisting of Springer, guitarist Nick Cartwright, and drummer James Ringness – self-released their first EP, titled Strictly Speaking. In early 2018, the band signed to Boston based label Counter Intuitive Records. Soon after signing to the label, the band released their debut full-length album, Somewhat Literate. The song "Passion Fruit Tea" was named in "Songs We Love" by NPR Music.
The band was featured on Paste Magazine's list "The 15 Chicago Bands You Need To Know in 2018" as well as Stereogum's "40 Best New Bands Of 2018".
In 2020, the band released their second full-length album titled Runaway Dog.
