"I shot this in my home basement studio. It's a song by the Velvet Underground that Galaxie 500 covered. It's also one of the few songs by the VU that the Feelies never performed.”

Jed: "I fell instantly for Galaxie 500 at age 20. They were simple and complex simultaneously, just like the Velvet Underground, which is probably the only band I've tried to rip off more."

“Our friends James and Zafirah initially asked us to play a different Galaxie 500 song (Pictures) at their wedding but we said no and chose to play Tugboat instead. Did you know that Michael Imperioli was talking about Damon & Naomi on a recent episode of his Sopranos podcast?”

From Tré Burt: “Humanity feels like it’s slipping away from us, as a country. I wanted to reinstate the humanity of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner and so many other brothers and sisters slain by police in the way I know how. I wanted to immortalize their dignity and make the work easy for future historians and remind the present that no matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this is about actual pain and real human suffering caused by a system of governance that is morally bankrupt. This I felt was my duty as an American songwriter to do. Music is a powerful force, especially when you put it through a protest song. It makes the fight more tangible. Reframes perspective. None of which entered my mind when writing this, at all. That was out of anger. I wrote this song out of anger. They should all be alive.”
