The Fiction We Live

From Autumn to Ashes

A definitive 2000s post-hardcore document. Brutal breakdowns collide with fragile piano melodies and a signature dual-vocal attack that defines an era.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'scream-along in your car' album for anyone who misses the 2003 Long Island scene.

A high-tension collision of visceral rage and fragile, melodic heartbreak.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the frantic aggression of track 6 into the haunting, piano-led vulnerability of Melanie Wills' guest vocals on Autumns Monologue.
The explosive drum fill that kicks off The After Dinner Payback, setting a high-velocity tone for the record's heavy half.
The way the guitars lock into a melodic, cascading riff during the bridge of Milligram Smile, balancing the grit with genuine beauty.
