Album Notes & Community Reviews

The band's debut full-length is a landmark album in post-hardcore, establishing Aaron Weiss's unique half-spoken, half-screamed poetic vocal style. A raw and passionate concept album detailing a painful breakup, '[A鈫払] Life' masterfully blends the aggressive energy of post-hardcore with the introspective angst of emo and the unconventional structures of art punk. Its profound emotional and spiritual depth set a new standard for lyrical substance in the genre.
