When the Lightning Hit

McCafferty

Four tracks of jittery, high-tension folk punk. Acoustic guitars played with percussive violence and vocals that sound like a confession whispered and screamed.

2014

A frantic, high-tension exploration of suburban anxiety and self-reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the frantic acoustic opening of Graveyard into the full band explosion that feels like a panic attack breaking.
The way the vocals crack and strain on the title track, pushing past the point of technical singing into pure emotional venting.
The sudden, jarring silence between the final strum of Fetch and the end of the recording.
