A London trio whose post-hardcore sound carried sharp social commentary through the 2000s and 2010s.
For the full picture, start with 'A Million Claws' and 'System Failure'. That's where their sound and message come together.
They weren't just another London rock band. Songs like 'A Million Claws' and 'System Failure' gave their sound a political edge that felt urgent for the time. Their catalog holds up as a document of that specific strain of mid-2000s British post-hardcore that actually had something to say.
Formed in London in the mid-2000s, they put out albums like The Longing and The Awakening. Drummer Jake Cartwright left in 2010, which led to a break before they released The Catalyst in 2015 and eventually split in 2017.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
