A Salt Lake City
based band made up of two members, Dallon Weekes, former Panic! at the Disco member, and Ryan Seaman, former member of Falling in Reverse. The two
long-time friends got together to from I Don't Know How But They Found Me (often shortened to idkhbtfm, IDKHOW or iDKHOW) in the year
2016, with Dallon as their lead vocalist and bassist and Ryan as their drummer.
The band, which had been kept a secret at first, exploded and Rock Sound described them as "the hottest unsigned band in the world" (pre-signing with Fearless Records). They'
re songs have been described as many genres, such as new wave, alternative rock, indie pop and more.
Their first song, Modern Day Cain, reached number 8 of the Top 10 Alternative
Music Charts on iTunes on the very day it was released. They soon released many more great singles such as
Choke and Nobody Likes the Opening Band.
Overall, the band has a very interesting image and backstory. Fans have theorised:
"I think the lore for IDKHOW is that the band was a
government experiment during the 80s to how
music effects
people. That's why most of IDKHOW's
music is so weird. Suddenly, the experiment was scrapped and the evidence was trying to be destroyed, but some videos and clips are being discovered now."
"All of their videos are meant to be ‘recovered’ from the 80’s/90’s. I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME. I don’t know how but they found the videos? I don’t know."
