Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Rhode Island School of Design alumni deliver a frantic, wildly unpredictable sophomore album characterized by jagged, angular guitar riffs. Tim Harrington's unhinged, intensely theatrical vocal performances clash brilliantly with the tight, dance-punk rhythm section, establishing their chaotic prominence within the East Coast post-hardcore scene.
