In 2018 Mega Mango released their debut single, "You Spent All Your Love". While it gained significant traction with the indie rock community, this success would be short-lived.

The pressures of young adulthood, compounded by a global pandemic, forced the band into a nearly 2-year hiatus. In the midst of quarantine, members were scattered across the country and it seemed like Mega Mango was over just as soon as it had started.

While most of the band lost contact, vocalist Crow Costello (they/them) and guitarist Alex Spagnolia (he/him) remained close in Philly. In the depths of an epidemic, they began recording what would later become Mega Mango’s comeback singles.

They pursued a new sound - indie bedroom rock vibes with bigger bass, drums, and a warmer tone. They dubbed it, Phruitcore - playing on the band’s fruit-inspired name and hometown of Philadelphia.

In 2021, the band returned with their first new song in 2+ years: Boggle. With a new sound came a new lineup. Original bassist Niko Jones (he/him) moved back to rejoin the group. Later drummer Sam Poll (he/him) - a long-time fan of the band - was recruited to finalize the lineup.

"Sorry!" & "Risk" followed. The band’s single - "Blurt" - continues the playful theme of nostalgic board-game references representing a bittersweet goodbye to the group’s youth.

Now in 2023, Mega Mango releases an Audiotree Live Session, a new single called "Clue", and the Fun and Games EP. To celebrate the occasion, the band sold out their EP release show in February and announced a thirty-plus North American Tour dubbed The Fun & Games Tour.
