Album Notes & Community Reviews

The San Francisco trio's second full-length album is an ambitious, sprawling expansion of their gritty pop-punk sound. Incorporating longer, more complex song structures and Blake Schwarzenbach's distinctly raspy, poetic lyricism, the record deeply influenced the stylistic trajectory of 1990s emo and post-hardcore.
