A progressive band that blends technical guitar work with melodic hooks across eight studio albums.
For their particular blend of technicality and melody, check out 'The Backwards Pumpkin Song' and 'Man Of The Year'. They show the range from intricate guitar work to those melodic hooks that keep you coming back.
They've carved out a specific space in post-hardcore where complexity and catchiness coexist without canceling each other out. Songs like 'Pop Off!' show how they can be technical without feeling purely academic, melodic without losing their edge. Their sound has remained consistent through multiple lineup changes, appealing to listeners who want both intricate instrumentation and something they can actually sing along to.
Formed as a progressive post-hardcore band, they released their self-titled debut in 2008. The 2012 addition of vocalist Tilian Pearson brought a higher register to their vocal dynamics, while guitarist Will Swan and vocalist Jon Mess have remained constants through eight studio albums including 2020's 'Afterburner'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
