This Hattiesburg band followed the classic screamo trajectory and recorded one amazing EP then broke up. Luckily the band hit me up early and asked if I wanted to help release it, knowing it was the band's first and final output. Considering how awesome the five songs were I had to say yes. So I did. And here we are.

The band's sound is an almost lo-fi sibling to bands like Mondrary, I Have No Mouth, Grimlitter, and Blind Girls, mixing caustic, emotional upheavals amidst (sometimes) playful riffery and (other times) downright destruction. And I gotta say, those shrill screams are fucking sick.

It's the odd-numbered tracks that really turn my head as "i" has a cool chunky/jarring riff that turns into a sick breakdown near the end, "iii" has got a second half that'll get you moshin' nice'n'good (and those bell hits rock), and "v" includes the aforementioned playful guitar work (bit of Hot Cross/Ruptures vibes there) followed by a prodigious panic chord breakdown.

Honestly it's a shame the band was so short-lived, but I was told members have moved on to new things so hopefully we see the fruits of their labour sooner rather than later. This will probably make my best EPs of 2025, but we'll see.
