Learn the Hard Way

High-velocity Midwestern punk defined by gravelly three-part harmonies and relentless down-strokes. A twenty-six minute masterclass in grit and melody.

2008 · Red Scare

A high-octane blend of existential frustration and the cathartic joy of playing loud music with friends.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the melodic hook of 'Two Left Feet' into the blistering one-minute sprint of 'Headaches'.

The rare moment of breathing room during the three-minute slow-burn build of 'Switchblades'.

The gang-vocal explosion on 'Shit’s Fucked' that captures the record's entire nihilistic but joyful philosophy.
