Brooklyn band Grooms quietly called it quits back in 2018 and, not too long after, frontman Travis Johnson and drummer Steve Levine formed Activity, rounding out the band with guitarist Jess Rees (Russian Baths) and bassist Zoë Browne (Field Mouse). Activity experiments with adding more electronics to a post-punk sound in a fashion only true New Yorkers could pull off. They made their live debut just over two years ago and have released their debut album, Unmask Whoever.

Their first single, "Calls Your Name," featured eerie synths, a glitchy rhythm, and lyrics inspired by C.S. Lewis's 1945 novel The Great Divorce. The video, which the band directed, has a distinct David Lynch tone, from the buzzing electricity heard in the opening shot through the creepy forest scenes and general weird vibe.
