Longtime friends Eddie Smith III, Jesse Rankins and Jonathan Wells were at a crossroads. It was 2010 and Alabama natives WATCH THE DUCK were accomplished DJs, producers and musicians living in Houston. Yes, they were making a comfortable living making music, but something was lacking.

“We were happy to be doing music, but it became work,” Eddie says today. “We had to get back to loving what we were doing. It almost made everybody not want to make music.”

The trio decided to make drastic changes in their lives, their comfort level, their location and their music. They left the stability of Houston for the unknown of Atlanta. The friends also dedicated themselves to creating the type of music that would make them happy...

This culminated in a fusion of rap, soul, electronic, dance, trap, booty, dubstep. The results – with Jesse focusing on vocals, Eddie bass and Jonathan keyboard – were revolutionary.

Their latest EP 'Anatidaephobia' is now available to be purchased via iTunes; check out a preview of the release above
