This is the sound of a band plugged directly into a flickering power grid. It is loud, unpolished, and unapologetically physical, defined by jagged guitar riffs that feel like they were recorded in a single, sweat-soaked take. There is a sense of urgency here that avoids being polished, favoring the honest friction of wood, wire, and skin.
What sets this apart is the specific 90s-leaning grit: a combination of power-pop melodicism buried under layers of beautiful, overdriven noise. The vocals do not plead for your attention; they demand it through a haze of analog saturation and a delivery that oscillates between a cool detachment and a full-throated roar.
Start with the high-energy tracks from Shark Bait to get a sense of their rhythmic drive. It is the perfect companion for those moments when you need music that feels as restless and caffeinated as you do, providing a sonic jolt that is both nostalgic and bracingly immediate.
