Afraid of Heights

High-voltage Canadian punk meeting arena-rock ambition. Sharp, staccato riffs and socially charged lyrics delivered with surgical precision and soaring vocal hooks.

It's the ultimate 'shouting in the car' album for when the world feels like it's falling apart.

A high-stakes blend of righteous anger and the desperate search for hope in a fractured society.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from the eerie, synth-tinged intro of the title track into its massive, soaring chorus.
The intricate, math-rock influenced guitar work in the opening of Big Red Gun that sets a frantic pace.
The unexpected six-minute sprawl of Rabbit Down the Hole which trades punk speed for progressive, dark atmosphere.
