Who We Are: Hot Mulligan from Lansing, Michigan

We're Hot Mulligan, an emo band from Lansing, Michigan. Here is who we are, where we started and what you'll find in our merch store.

Who is Hot Mulligan?

We formed in Lansing in 2014. Our sound sits between emo, pop punk, post-hardcore and Midwest emo, and that mix runs through every record we've made since.

Who's in the band?

• Nathan "Tades" Sanville: lead vocals, there since 2014.
• Chris Freeman: rhythm guitar and co-lead vocals since 2015. He played drums in our first year and has added keyboards since 2025.
• Ryan "Spicy" Malicsi: lead guitar since 2016.
• Brandon Blakeley: drums since 2016.
• Jonah Kramer: bass, on tour with us from 2022 and a full member since 2024.

What have we released?

Four studio albums so far: Pilot (2018), You'll Be Fine (2020), Why Would I Watch (2023) and The Sound a Body Makes When It's Still (2025). Before and between them came a stack of EPs, from Fenton in 2014 to Warmer Weather in 2024. We started out on Save Your Generation, moved to No Sleep Records in 2017 and have been with Wax Bodega since 2023.
