Killing Time

Polished, technical rock with a cynical heart. Sharp guitar harmonies and nasal, defiant vocals define this major-label snapshot of Long Island's cult favorites.

It's the technical punk record that sounds like it was recorded in a cathedral made of Marshall stacks.

A defiant and technically precise exploration of cynicism and resilience.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive dual-guitar harmony that kicks off Sick, Sick, Sick with technical precision.

The theatrical, almost cabaret-like piano bridge in It's Not a Bad Little War that breaks the punk momentum.

The way the title track builds from a weary mid-tempo crawl into a massive, defiant choral finale.
