Phoneboy

Phoneboy are an American alternative/indie rock band from Hoboken, New Jersey, United States consisting of singer/guitarists Wyn Barnum and Ricky Dana, bassist James Fusco, and keyboardist Jordan Torres.

Creation
Wyn Barnum decided to create the band with Ricky Dana after meeting each other at Stevens Institute of Technology that didn't have a large "Indie scene". They also decided to bring in Barnum's childhood friend, James Fusco, and the three of them bonded over their love of music and decided to form the band. They had thought of the name for the band to be 'Wyn and Ricky' but decide to change it to 'Phoneboy' in reference to Dana's phone usage. When asked about their inspiration, the band responded that they were inspired by the Arctic Monkeys, the Strokes, and Rex Orange County.

Band career
Initially, Phoneboy played local gigs around Hoboken, New Jersey to improve Stevens' music scene.

On April 23, 2021, Phoneboy released their self-titled debut album Phoneboy, featuring Justin Magnaye on "Nevermind".

In December 2022, Phoneboy went on a tour with the Happy Fits and Daisy the Great, as the opening act.

On March 24, 2023, Phoneboy released a new album, Moving Out, featuring singles such as "Runaway", "Ferrari", "What a Coward", and "Your Apartment". Phoneboy also went on a tour to celebrate.

The band has released featured merch, depicting symbols of their band, such as the iconic "Roses are Dead".
