Album Notes & Community Reviews

Deeply informed by global economic instability and the Occupy movement, the British quartet's third album is an intensely political and wildly genre-defying manifesto. The recording frantically oscillates between aggressive post-hardcore breakdowns and heavy, wobble-bass dubstep drops. It cemented their reputation for aggressively fusing modern electronic dance music with sociopolitically conscious punk rock.
