Long Stories Short

Six tracks of unpolished, basement-recorded emo. Raw vocals and gritty guitars capture a band finding their voice on a shoestring budget.

It's Bayside before they got famous, recorded in a basement for 700 bucks and sounding all the better for it.

A raw, unpolished portrait of suburban anxiety and romantic failure.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The desperate, unpolished vocal strain in the opening lines of Advance Letter Goodbye.

The way the drums sound slightly boxy and immediate, capturing the small-room basement energy.

The sudden shift to a more melodic, almost hopeful guitar lead halfway through Foot Impressions.
