The Beautiful Decay EP

Scrappy, high-energy indie rock from the band's formative years. Gritty guitars and raspy vocals captured with a raw, unpolished basement urgency.

It's the sound of the world's biggest indie band before they actually knew they were the world's biggest indie band.

A frantic, unpolished surge of youthful adrenaline and basement-born ambition.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition in Tyrants where the slow build finally snaps into a frantic, sprawling guitar outro.
The unrefined vocal crack in Bodies that signals a band playing with more heart than budget.
The way the bass guitar dominates the opening of Harlot, sounding like it was recorded directly into a clipping desk.
