Scrappy, high-energy emo with a garage-punk heart. Raw vocals and crunchy guitars for those nights when you're feeling restless and a little bit self-destructive.

Intro

This is the sound of a humid summer night in a suburban garage. It’s fast, loud, and uncomfortably honest, capturing that specific intersection of punk aggression and emo vulnerability. The guitars are fuzzy and immediate, while the drums feel like they’re being played by someone who really needs to hit something. It’s music that doesn’t care about being pretty, only about being felt.

What sets this apart is the 'bummer punk' ethos. It’s not just sad; it’s frustrated and kinetic. The vocals have a distinctive nasal strain that feels like a friend venting to you over a cheap beer. There’s a loose, almost reckless quality to the performances that makes the recordings feel like they could fall apart at any second, which only adds to the emotional stakes.

Start with the self-titled debut album. It’s the definitive statement of the project’s early identity, balancing catchy hooks with a gritty, lo-fi production style that perfectly suits the songwriting. It’s the ideal entry point for anyone who likes their rock music with a side of existential dread and a lot of heart.
