Life and career 1989–2007: Early life Sam Teskey was born in 1989 at his parents home in Warrandyte, Victoria, in the room above what is now their studio. He attended a local primary school with no year levels. He was close to his brother Josh, with Josh saying in 2021, "We had these bird calls we'd do so we could always find each other in bush near where we lived. We also used them at parties when we were teenagers. I'd do the call and Sam would materialise out of the crowd." The band released their debut studio album, Half Mile Harvest in 2017 which peaked at number 18 on the ARIA Charts. The band's second studio album, Run Home Slow was released in 2019 and peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Charts
