Describing their music as “southwest emo”/”plant rock”, no fauna has been on the rise in the Fort Collins music scene since 2023. Lead singer and guitarist Trip Renner and drummer Sam Kanter met in high school and had a “pirate punk” band, splitting and reuniting years later to make more pop-punk music. The duo found math rock lovers bassist Zip Roberts and guitarist Brian Holdbrook and the band was set in stone. “Live & Local” is no fauna’s first appearance on the radio waves, and their performance brings a driving energy and a clear love for their music and each other. The group chats about their new EP, fall, and the process of writing and recording their songs, reminisces over their start in bands in high school, and has no explanation of how a mysterious voice appeared on their song “rugby sox”.

Live & Local is available to listen to anytime on our website and major streaming services, and is live on the air every Sunday from 11-1 p.m.
