Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut full-length from Rolo Tomassi is a raw, chaotic, and hyperactive explosion of sound that immediately established them as a unique and polarizing force. 'Hysterics' is a dizzying and unpredictable blend of spastic mathcore, 8-bit Nintendocore synths, free-jazz freakouts, and cathartic screaming. It's a playful yet utterly ferocious record that captures the boundless, genre-destroying energy of the band's youth.
