A Rhode Island band whose raw, discordant sound evolved from chaotic early albums to a more textured intensity.
For their unsettling atmosphere, try 'Guest House' or 'Satan In The Wait'. They frame the band's ability to build dread with very little.
They never settled into a comfortable rock category, from the frantic bursts of 'Crotch Buffet' to the oppressive dread of 'Guest House'. Their 2018 album 'You Won't Get What You Want' felt like a return to a visceral, uncompromising style that critics noticed. The music stays challenging, with Alexis Marshall's lyrics often circling dark themes over sparse, suffocating instrumentation.
They started in Rhode Island with a raw, abrasive sound on albums like 2003's 'Canada Songs'. By 2010's self-titled record, they'd developed a more textured approach without losing their intensity. The 2018 album 'You Won't Get What You Want' brought them back to that visceral, uncompromising style.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
