Scrappy, heart-on-sleeve punk from the Queens basement circuit. High-velocity melodies delivered with a raspy, desperate urgency for late nights and loud rooms.
Get Bent sounds like the exact moment a basement show reaches its boiling point. It is fast, melodic punk that trades slick production for a raw, overdriven honesty that feels like it might fall apart at any second. The guitars are thin and biting, the drums are relentless, and the vocals are delivered with a strained, raspy urgency that suggests the singer is exorcising something vital in real time.
What sets them apart is the 'orgcore' DNA: the ability to pair aggressive, high-energy tempos with surprisingly introspective and existential lyrics. It is music that feels deeply rooted in a specific New York DIY scene, capturing the grit of the city and the restless anxiety of your early twenties. The melodies are catchy enough to sing along to, but they are buried under enough fuzz and tape hiss to keep them sounding dangerous.
Start with the 2008 Demo. It is the definitive document of their sound, capturing the unrefined energy that made them a cult favorite. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who likes their punk rock to sound like it was recorded in a room where the walls are sweating.
