Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their tradition of highly literate, deeply conceptual songwriting, 'Volcano' injects complex post-hardcore structures into playful emo-pop. The famously brief record acts as an energetic, melody-dense concept album loosely inspired by Pompeii and thematic destruction. It stands as a fiercely beloved, highly ambitious outlier within the era's saturated pop-punk scene.
