This is the first release from Chicago’s Haymarket Riot, this EP evokes a real sense of anxiety. “the bands quit-loud-quit, angular hooks are at once reminiscent of Fugazi. Whispering then yelling vocals and self-effacing lyrics, while working within a Smart Went Crazy form. Not to mention showing itself to bring some of the best hard-edged indie rock our city has to offer”.
Jonathan Mahalak, New City Chicago

Think refused, fugazi, and drive like jehu without falling into mere carbon copy territorySee: traitors, gauge orwell, the sky corvair, sweater weather,
traluma, the kiwi waltz
