Trade Test Transmissions

High-fidelity power pop hooks meeting classic punk velocity. A polished, energetic return that captures romantic frustration with nineties studio sheen.

The kings of punk-pop return with more hooks than a tackle box and a shiny 90s coat of paint.

A high-velocity blend of romantic frustration and melodic resilience delivered with polished confidence.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The relentless, driving drum fill that launches the chorus of Do It

The sudden shift to a more melodic, shimmering guitar texture on Isolation

The way the vocal harmonies lock in during the repetitive hook of 369
