This is music that refuses to sit still. It is built on a foundation of interlocking guitar parts that sound like they are trying to trip each other up, backed by drumming that is as precise as it is chaotic. It captures the specific, restless energy of the Northeast DIY scene, where technical proficiency meets a raw, unpolished punk attitude.
The distinctiveness lies in the friction between the complexity of the arrangements and the simplicity of the recording. It doesn't sound like a studio project; it sounds like two or three people in a room pushing their instruments to the breaking point. The occasional synth lines add a layer of neon grime to the otherwise brittle, metallic guitar tones.
Start with 'e.e. cummings sucks so hard' to get a sense of their irreverent attitude and sharp technical execution. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who likes their rock music to feel like a high-speed chase through a maze.
