Album Notes & Community Reviews

Unwound's debut album, 'Fake Train', is an incredibly abrasive and highly influential blueprint for 90s noise rock and post-hardcore. The band utilizes heavily distorted, anxious guitar interplay and a relentless, raw rhythm section to deliver a deeply depressive and aggressive sonic assault.
