Album Notes & Community Reviews

Refining the template established on their debut, 'Room on Fire' blends tight, rhythmic garage rock with post-punk revival energy. The record relies on interlocking guitar parts, urban-themed lyricism, and a melodic, detached vocal delivery to balance its rebellious spirit with polished studio production.
