Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by rigid, repetitive basslines and distinctively clanging aluminum neck guitars, 'Roundhouse' captures the austere, blue-collar aggression of the midwestern noise rock circuit. The anxious, tightly wound rhythms perfectly evoke the industrial decay of the band's native Chicago.
