All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know

A quiet, skeletal collection of acoustic versions and demos. It trades the band's usual high-octane punk for intimate, tape-hiss nostalgia and weary travelogues.

It's the acoustic heart of the band, perfect for when you're feeling a bit too much for a loud record.

A quiet, weary nostalgia that feels like reading an old diary in a dimly lit room.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The vulnerable vocal crack during the acoustic rendition of 1*15*96 that makes the heartbreak feel immediate.

The way the demo version of Eight of Nine strips away the polish to reveal a skeletal, haunting melody.

The transition into the Smoking Popes cover Pretty Pathetic where the weary delivery perfectly captures mid-20s aimlessness.
