Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut studio effort from the Pennsylvania quartet establishes a sound rooted in high-velocity rhythmic drives and the unpolished energy of the Scranton DIY scene. Produced by Jesse Cannon, the arrangements prioritize fast-paced rhythmic sections and urgent vocal exchanges that reflect the influence of both 90s melodic hardcore and ska-punk. It served as a significant introductory document, prioritizing structural simplicity and raw sonic impact.
