Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fronted by a pre-solo career Frank Turner, the debut from this incredibly short-lived London quartet is a defining document of 2000s British post-hardcore. The album is incredibly passionate and highly complex, fusing aggressive, noisy post-hardcore dissonance with heavily literate, politically rebellious, and profoundly pessimistic emo narratives.
