Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their second release for Epitaph, the album integrates grittier alternative rock textures and 90s-style guitar distortion into their melodic punk foundation. The recording sessions prioritize structural variety and high-contrast sound design, facilitating a visceral exploration of domestic instability and adulthood. It remains a key artifact of their mid-career development, balancing traditional punk speed with increasingly ambitious songwriting.
