Before Joe Keery became lovable douchebag Steve Harrington on Stranger Things — and even longer before he became viral psych-pop hitmaker Djo — he was cutting his teeth as a member of the Chicago indie rockers Post Animal. He amicably stepped away from the band around the time “Stranger Things guy” became his main gig; he’s still acting these days, but it looks like he’s putting those Netflix paychecks to good use by focusing more on music again. Keery’s recently rejoined Post Animal and is currently on tour promoting his new Djo album The Crux.
