Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the Welsh underground, the sextet's debut initially saw an independent release before receiving a major-label remix and wider distribution. 'The Fake Sound of Progress' heavily blends the aggressive, bouncy riffs and turntable scratching of nu-metal with distinct pop-punk vocal melodies. The album successfully established the group as a major UK response to the dominant American alternative metal scene.
