Building Cities From Scratch

Our Last Night

A raw, unpolished time capsule of mid-2000s screamo. Jagged guitar work and piercing dual vocals define this high-energy, DIY post-hardcore debut.

This is the raw, screaming heart of the band before they became a polished hit machine.

A frantic and unrefined explosion of teenage frustration and melodic aggression.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The chaotic transition from melodic singing to piercing screams in the opening minute of Blankets of Bullets.
The way the guitars interlocking in The Capture and the Captor create a frantic, nervous energy before the breakdown.
The surprisingly melodic and extended outro of Beginnings that hints at the band's future arena-ready sound.
