Blistering Richmond hardcore that hits like a physical impact. Short, violent bursts of thrash-influenced punk designed for basement floors and high-speed catharsis.
This is the sound of a band that refuses to overstay its welcome, delivering entire discographies in the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee. It is lean, mean, and intentionally abrasive, stripping hardcore punk down to its most jagged essentials. The guitars are thick and corrosive, the drums are a relentless assault of d-beats and thrash gallops, and the vocals sound like a throat being shredded in real-time.
What sets this apart is the sheer economy of the songwriting. There is no filler, no atmospheric padding, and no wasted motion. Each track is a self-contained explosion that builds tension through feedback and rapid-fire rhythmic shifts before collapsing into heavy, punishing breakdowns that feel earned rather than formulaic.
Start with 'In Shame' if you want to experience the peak of their sonic aggression. It is a record that captures the claustrophobic energy of the Richmond scene, perfect for anyone who finds beauty in high-velocity chaos and the catharsis of a well-placed scream.
