Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the sprawling, Civil War-themed concepts of their previous work, Patrick Stickles stripped the band's sound down to a raw, live-in-the-studio punk energy. The remarkably pessimistic lyricism tackles eating disorders, car crashes, and profound urban anxiety with a distinctively heartland rock swagger.
