Hopefully, the ‘blurb is legible. These Texans knew how to bring the party! One-part angular post-hardcore from the humid reaches of DC (By way of Fugazi and Jawbox), and a whole-lotta balls-to-the-wallses rock swagger.

Murky, and angular post-hardcore from the bowels of Louisville, KY. The d-beat/hardcore edge lingers, but is not the predominant force that it has been on their prior outings. Melodicism, with the blackened-edge of metal lingering on the fringe. I love this, and everything else Mr. Patterson has been a part of.
