Imagine a basement show where the band is technically proficient enough to play jazz but chooses to play the most explosive, fun-loving post-hardcore imaginable. pulses. is a breath of fresh air in a genre often bogged down by self-seriousness. Their sound is a kaleidoscopic rush of jagged guitar tapping, funk-inspired bass grooves, and a vocal delivery that bounces between melodic hooks, aggressive screams, and rhythmic rap flows.
What truly sets them apart is their 'Swancore' lineage filtered through a lens of genuine joy. They manage to be incredibly complex without being cold; the mathy time signatures and dense arrangements serve the energy of the song rather than just showing off. It is music that feels like a sugar rush, constantly shifting gears and pulling in influences from pop-punk, trap, and video game soundtracks without ever losing its core rock identity.
Start with 'It Wasn’t Supposed to Be Like This' to hear their most refined version of this chaos. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the technicality of math rock but wants the emotional release and high-speed fun of modern alternative music.
