Self-described as “noisy Midwestern math rock delivered by populist theoreticians,” I don’t think it could be more well said. Even though they use the words “math rock”, I feel the words “punk math rock” would be more well suited. There are some mathy riffs, but the heavy punk roots are evident in every song from the instruments to the yelling group vocals. These guys are coming through Cleveland on 10/21 at Now That’s Class, I can imagine what “The Irish Problem” will be like there.
