Attack on Memory

Cloud Nothings

A jagged pivot from pop to post-hardcore. Recorded by Steve Albini, it captures the sound of a young band setting their own past on fire with abrasive, cathartic energy.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of your early twenties having a very loud, very productive nervous breakdown.

A relentless, confrontational energy fueled by existential frustration and instrumental ferocity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The repetitive, throat-shredding mantra of 'I thought I would be more than this' that anchors the nine-minute sprawl of Wasted Days.
The sudden, violent transition from the slow-burning piano intro of No Future/No Past into a wall of distorted guitars.
The way the drums on Separation sound like they are physically hitting you in the chest, courtesy of the Albini production.
