Precise intensity begins to describe Sunforger's grungey stylings. Every stop-start riff and tense drum hit on the band’s self-titled debut LP — which dropped last year and was supported with a North American tour — is calculated for maximum effect delivering tight blasts of existential anguish. It’s post-punk, post-grunge, post-hardcore, post-everything, and totally refreshing.
