Potionseller

Potionseller is an emo-infused pop punk band from Grand Rapids, Michigan and self-described inventors of "yeeyeemo." Formed in late 2021 during the pandemic by vocalist Austen Reno, the band came together after Reno spent his teens and twenties heavily touring the U.S. with his previous band If Only, If Only. After parting ways, he wrote five new songs and brought them to old friend Ryan Malicsi of Hot Mulligan to record at Eureka Records in Wyandotte, MI. Reno then assembled a full band: childhood best friend Jake Bartell on bass, classical and jazz musician-turned-DIY-scenester on keys, Michigan scene veteran John Wilson on drums, guitarist Andy Morris, and lead guitarist Nate Leritz. One of PNWK's earliest signings, the band released debut single "Jerry" in 2023, followed by EP When They Get Old and single "Jim Scary" in 2024. Their debut LP BUZZARD, co-released with Counter Intuitive Records, arrived in 2026.
