TEARS & GEARZ is what happens when two of indie pop’s boldest voices stop flirting with a good idea and finally go for it. Real-life best friends Bentley Robles and ZEE MACHINE first teamed up on their viral hit “See Me Naked,” a certified gay anthem that sparked drag performances around the world and cemented their shared knack for big, campy bangers with undeniable hooks.

After two more fan-favorite collabs (“Anyone But Him” and “LOCK ME UP!”), it was clear: the people wanted a band. So TEARS & GEARZ was born, a glitter-drenched lovechild of The 1975, Wham!, and queer heartbreak on the dancefloor. Their latest singles “DELUSIONAL” and “GEORGE MICHAEL” have only cemented their status as indie-pop darlings on the rise.

With over 20 million streams between them, their debut EP ‘FATHER FIGURE FANTASY’ dropping July 3rd, and a North American tour set for summer 2025, TEARS & GEARZ isn’t a side project, it’s a pop supergroup in the making.
