Emerging from the noisy hardcore scene of the late 2000s, the band has always been synonymous with originality and innovation. This album showcases elements reminiscent of their earlier work, particularly Rohnert Park, especially in tracks like “Other Hells.” However, it also intertwines post-punk influences, echoing the sounds of New Order and Joy Division, with hints of The Clash’s London Calling. A compelling listen for both new fans and long-time followers.
