The members of the vibrant dance-rock duo I Dont Know How But They Found Me (sometimes shortened to IDKHow or IDK) knew each other for years before they formed in secret in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2016. Late that year, they played a few shows in the Los Angeles area before word of the project eventually spread. The duo released its first single, "Modern Day Cain," in August 2017, following it a month later with "Choke." In August of 2018, the band signed with Fearless Records and made its label debut with "Do It All the Time." That November, the 1981 EP arrived; it soon topped the Billboard Heatseeker chart and reached number 14 on the Billboard Rock Albums Chart. A year later, they returned with the holiday EP Christmas Drag, which featured a cover of Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody." ~ Marcy Donelson
