For Cameron

Exploding out of the Midwestern emo revival, this incredibly frantic release balances sparkling, tapped guitar melodies with throat-shredding vocal desperation. The heartbreaking spoken-word interludes and chaotic, start-stop song structures cemented its status as a foundational pillar of modern underground screamo. The tragically short-lived band's influence heavily resonated throughout the following decade's DIY punk scene.
