Editor's note

We Are The Union's post-hardcore from San Francisco

A band that formed after The Receiving End of Sirens broke up, making music on their own terms since 2013.

If you want to hear what they're about, try 'Self Care' or 'War On Everything'. They give you a good sense of how the band handles those themes of struggle.

They're one of those bands that makes you reconsider what post-hardcore can be. Songs like 'Broken Brain' and 'Do Not Attempt To Adjust Your TV Set' show how they move between aggression and melody without losing their edge. Their work touches on disconnection and personal struggle, which feels honest rather than just loud.

They started in 2013 after The Receiving End of Sirens ended, with Jesse Barnett on vocals and guitar. Albums like 'The Narrow Escape' in 2014, 'Feel the Void' in 2016, and 'Ordinary Life' in 2018 show them working through their sound. Some listeners have questioned how they fit within the genre, but they've kept making music anyway.
