Heavy angular rock that totally rips. Perky drums, heavy riffs, short attention spans, irreverent tone – no vocals. For those who like The Ex, Don Cab, Helmet. –nari

1. bouncy drums, catchy rhythms, head-bangin’ good energy; this is the single

2. darker theme; really bouncy and urgent; builds up tension to in-your-face cacophony & “challenging ugliness”, in a good way; Sonic Youth-esque slow acoustic outro

3. brighter & happier; jarring rhythm in 5, time signature changes; heavy crunchy parts and lighter sprightly parts; drum solo outro

4. slow, thudding tempo; a pretty, sinister theme; grunge

5. creeps in, then huge angry walls of crunch; amp-bustin’ good

6. slower lurching tempo, acoustic parts in the middle; builds to a melodic picked part @ 3:30

7. brighter & happier; starts off with a really addictive jerky rhythm, falls apart for a little while, returns to addictive jerky rhythm
