Hailing from Albany, New York, Hate Club formed in early 2017 after Audrey Goodmote (vocals, guitar) and Noah Bondy (guitar, vocals) met by chance in a local cafe. Within 24 hours, the first official Hate Club song was written, and soon after, the band released their first EP, No, Seriously - a collection of energetic tracks, exploring themes like anxiety and regret. By summer 2018, the band continued gaining traction and making a name for themselves, both among their local music community and beyond.
