Mega Mango with Remy Reilly & Grace Gardner

Deep Ellum Art Company Presents:  Mega Mango

In 2018 Mega Mango released their debut single, You Spent All Your Love. While it gained significant traction with the indie rock community, this success would be short-lived.

The pressures of young adulthood, compounded by a global pandemic, forced the band into a nearly 2-year hiatus. In the midst of quarantine, members were scattered across the country and it seemed like Mega Mango was over just as soon as it had started.

While most of the band lost contact, vocalist Crow Costello (they/them) and guitarist Alex Spagnolia (he/him) remained close in Philly. In the depths of an epidemic, they began recording what would later become Mega Mango’s comeback singles.

They pursued a new sound – indie bedroom rock vibes with bigger bass, drums, and a warmer tone. They dubbed it, Phruitcore – playing on the band’s fruit-inspired name and hometown of Philadelphia.

In 2021, the band returned with their first new song in 2+ years: Boggle. With a new sound came a new lineup. Original bassist Niko Jones (he/him) moved back to rejoin the group. Later drummer Sam Poll (he/him) – a long-time fan of the band – was recruited to finalize the lineup.

Sorry! & Risk followed. The band’s newest single – Blurt – continues the playful theme of nostalgic board-game references representing a bittersweet goodbye to the group’s youth.
