davy's bands didn't get anywhere until his current one gained traction around 2014 or as much as they have since they're not huge or anything. maybe they knew of each other way back in the day through mutual friends and davy's (bad) reputation preceded him when they originally met - maybe when they were both opening for a cooler band around 2012/13ish? he's kind of come into his own in the past few years so we can say they reconnected since?
