In the Court of the Wrestling Let's

Let's Wrestle

Sixteen tracks of scuzzy, witty, and deeply melodic indie rock. A shambolic debut that balances deadpan British humor with genuine emotional bruises.

It's like if Pavement grew up in a London suburb and had a slightly more awkward sense of humor.

A nervous, high-energy blend of adolescent anxiety and sharp-witted melodicism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, jagged guitar opening of track 1 that sets a tone of nervous, high-speed energy.
The sudden shift into a surprisingly tender and melodic chorus during 'I'm in Love With Destruction'.
The way the title track builds from a simple riff into a sprawling, slightly chaotic finale.
