Tip

Gritty 1997 debut defined by jagged rhythmic syncopation, breathy vocals, and a dark, claustrophobic energy that separates it from standard post-grunge.

It's the heavy, moody version of Finger Eleven before they went to the radio.

A tense and claustrophobic exploration of internal pressure and rhythmic aggression.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift from the intimate, whispered opening of Above into its crushing, wall-of-sound chorus.
The rhythmic interplay between the snapping snare and the sliding bass line during the verses of Quicksand.
The dissonant, ringing guitar harmonics that create a sense of dread in the bridge of Tip.
