Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the fertile New York independent scene, this abrasive trio delivered a heavy, rhythmically complex take on post-hardcore. The tightly coiled, aggressive guitar riffs are deeply indebted to the discordant energy of the noise rock underground. The punishing, intricate execution quickly earned the respect of their peers and underground rock aficionados.
