The Debt of the Dead

Aggressive acoustic guitar and piercing fiddle recorded with zero polish. A definitive document of the mid-2000s Midwestern folk-punk basement scene.

A frantic, heart-on-sleeve explosion of DIY energy and communal hope.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, desperate shift in vocal intensity during the bridge of Alas Babylon.
The way the fiddle cuts through the frantic acoustic strumming on Up the Punks.
The communal, almost hymnal quality of the vocal harmonies on There Is a Light.
