The Walking Wounded

Technical guitar work meets a cynical, resilient heart. A landmark of theatrical punk rock defined by minor-key melodies and defiant, post-tragedy energy.

The ultimate 'sad but shredding' album for people who like their punk rock with complex guitar solos and a chip on its shoulder.

A resilient, cynical defiance that finds strength in shared scars and minor-key melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the haunting accordion intro into the explosive, driving riff of the title track.

The intricate, Iron Maiden-influenced guitar harmony that erupts during the bridge of track 2.

The stripped-back vulnerability of the acoustic-led Landing Feet First providing a brief emotional respite.
