| Boise’s Notorious AKA BELLE Release New Single “FITTIN’ IN” |
| Boise based psyche-folk-are-they-a-cult-or-a-family-band AKA BELLE announced the official release of their new single “Fittin In”. The single, available on all streaming platforms, is the secret rallying cry of outcasts and the forlorn; a thunderous admonition of being lonely for the feeling of fittin’ in. |
| The song’s catchy choruses, with vocals and snarly guitar riffs reminiscent of The Detroit Cobras, (and a nod to Beatles-esque backing vocals), encapsulates the 3am wide-awake-with-anxiety we are all feeling in this surreal age of endless distractions and uncertainties. |
| AKA BELLE are known for their quirky, glittery, often ceremonial onstage performances (complete with homemade props); fearless defying of genres with a unique blend of kitschy-bewitching psych-folk, and rebellious tropicalia infused protest pop – their passionate calls for love, resistance, equality for all, and soul-lifting energy serve as reminders that we are all part of this beautiful Universe and the Earth we call home. |
| “Fittin’ In” is the first official release off their upcoming double album, “All Time is Now/Now Is All You Have,” set for release in April 2026 on Moon Ruins Records. |

AKA BELLE “Fittin’ In”
“AKA BELLE makes the most inspirational, life affirming music. They’ll change whatever mood you’re in to the happiest and best side of you that exists. It’s all miracle-like, really” — Daniel ‘Kid’ Yoshida, host of KRBX’s “Country Jesus & the Extraterrestrial Highway”
| “Dreamy, bluesy, psychedelic pop” — Akiko Kanazawa, artist |
| “Affectionate, empowered and hope inspired” — Bump Magazine |
| Often asked if they are a family band or a cult or both, band members usually reply with a “yes” to both questions; AKA BELLE was formed by songwriters Catherine (vocals, guitar, MalletKat) and Sam Merrick (guitars, vocals) – who are married; long time friend Anthony Mulparry (stand up bass), Jake Stigers (who Catherine has known since he was 8 years old) on percussion and Christine Nygard (vocals, guitar, theremin), who first saw the band play when when she was 17 and manifested the dream to join them by the time she was 19. |
| So, cult/family…yes, sort of….. |
| Veterans of the Boise music scene, they have performed at every Treefort Music Festival, shared the stage with The Shivas, Federale, Family Worship Center, Heartless Bastards, to name a few; as well as headlined Boise’s Hyde Park Street Fair multiple times (this year included). |
| The band are set to release a double album in Spring 2026 on Moon Ruins Records, comprising “All Time Is Now/Now Is All You Have” – a full length album of new material – and an additional EP, “The Time for Love is Always Now,” a compilation of previously digital-only releases. |
| The first official release, “Fittin’ In,” drops September 5th on all streaming platforms, along with an accompanying video. |
