True North

Bad Religion

Sixteen tracks of high-speed melodic hardcore. A dense, intellectual blast of three-part harmonies and surgical social critique that feels both classic and urgent.

It's like a PhD thesis delivered at 180 beats per minute with the best harmonies in rock.

A high-velocity blend of intellectual defiance and existential urgency.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's opening explosion of harmonized vocals that immediately sets a breakneck pace.
The sudden, jarring shift into the aggressive chorus of 'Fuck You' that feels both cathartic and calculated.
The way 'Hello Cruel World' stretches out with a more mid-tempo, melodic melancholy compared to the surrounding sprints.
