The Seattle band that built a catalog of gothic-tinged rock around vocalist William Control.
For the band's early sound, 'Cry Little Sister' still holds up. Later tracks like 'The Dawn Breaking Tide' show how they refined that darkness.
Aiden's early single 'Cry Little Sister' became a signature track that defined their dark, theatrical approach. Their catalog includes songs like 'The Dawn Breaking Tide' and 'We Sleep Forever' that explore gothic themes without apology. The band's sound has remained consistent even through lineup changes and personal troubles.
Formed in Seattle in 2003 around William Control and Jake Wambold, Aiden released their debut 'Our Gangs Dark Oath' in 2005. After lineup shifts, they kept recording albums like 'Conviction' and 'Nightmare Anatomy' that leaned into darker material. They continued putting out studio work through 2015's 'Disguised as a Human' despite Control's 2009 arrest.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
