A New Jersey band that made chaos sound intentional for nearly twenty years.
If you need a frame for their particular brand of chaos, start with 'Prancer' or that 2013 track 'One of Us Is the Killer.' Both songs show how they made the math feel frantic.
They weren't just loud or fast, they built songs like 'Prancer' and 'One of Us Is the Killer' on polyrhythms and unhinged vocals that somehow held together despite the structural violence. What they left behind wasn't a tidy legacy so much as a pile of broken rules and a few genuinely unsettling recordings that still sound like they're trying to escape the speakers.
Formed in Morristown, New Jersey, they released albums like 'Ire Works' in 2007 and 'Option Paralysis' in 2010, each pushing further into territory critics called abrasive. They kept at it anyway until calling it quits in 2017 after nearly two decades of what felt more like controlled demolition than traditional songwriting.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
