The Nashville, TN trio—Chris Kelly [lead vocals, guitar], Jake Zimmermann [lead guitar, vocals], and Aidan Cunningham [drums]—never sand down or smooth out the edges of their songs. Instead, they find truth in the fissure between fuzzed-out distortion and disarmingly infectious melodies, bringing old-fashioned grit back to alternative. They deliver the kinds of hooks that ruled Alternative Nation during MTV’s golden age, yet could just as easily translate to a generation born and raised on social media. It’s the sound of growing up as amplified through grainy guitar riffs and the kinds of lyrics that give you permission to speak your mind and heart.
