State Is Burning

Fifteen tracks of hyper-speed melodic hardcore. Polished, political, and relentlessly fast, it captures a veteran band returning to their most aggressive roots.

July 1, 2016 · Fat Wreck Chords

Relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the feedback of Land of Idiocracy into the breakneck snare rolls of Stopwatch.

The melodic pivot in We Don't Want the Airwaves that pays homage to the Ramones with a modern edge.

The sheer density of the forty-second blast of Without a Choice that feels like a physical collision.
