Story So Far: What You Don't See [Vinyl LP]

Story So Far: The Story So Far [Vinyl LP]

On their new album Wisher, Oklahoma’s Ben Quad takes a bold step forward, dialing back the breakneck chaos of their debut in favour of something softer, more expansive, and emotionally resonant. Where I’m Scared That’s All There Is established the band as leaders of the new “riff-heavy emo punk” wave, Wisher widens the lens, weaving in moments of vulnerability, reflection, and melody without losing the urgency that put them on the map. The record is elevated by powerful guest spots from Microwave, Sam Canty of Treaty Oak Revival, and Sweet Pill, each pushing Ben Quad further into new sonic territory. The result is a body of work that feels more intimate yet bigger than ever — a record that trades sheer volume for deeper emotional weight while still carrying the energy of the band’s roots. With Wisher, Ben Quad proves that growth doesn’t mean losing edge — it means finding new ways to make it cut deeper.

The debut LP from shoegazey dream-poppers Slow Crush. A compelling abrasive shoegaze band, dealing with the aesthetics of contrasting sounds. Heavy like a gloomy dream yet soothingly vibrant. The vulnerable soft floating voice of Manchester's Isa Holliday underneath layers of grungy shoegaze soaked noisepop, seeking shelter from a f'ed up world.
