A band that turned personal grief into urgent, narrative-driven songs.
If you want to hear what they're about, start with 'A Letter' or 'Woman (In Mirror).' Those tracks show how they handle grief without softening the edges.
They've carved out a space where post-hardcore meets spoken-word poetry, with songs like 'A Letter' and 'Andria' tackling loss head-on. Their 2008 album 'Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair' set the template for that approach, and they've stuck with it through later records. It's not for everyone, some find the lyrics uncomfortably direct, but that's exactly why their following stays dedicated.
They formed in 2004 and put out 'Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair' in 2008. That album introduced their blend of poetic imagery and personal narrative, which carried through to 'Rooms of the House' in 2014 and 'Panorama' in 2019. The lineup has stayed steady with Jordan Dreyer on vocals and guitar, Kevin Whittemore on guitar, Brad Vander Lugt on bass, and Chad Sterenberg on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
