About Me

In early 2003 members of the recently defunct Joshua fit for Battle and Neil Perry stacked mattresses against the walls of an old Philadelphia row home determined to continue making music together. Hundreds of complaints, broken drumsticks, and power failures later, they emerged from the cloud of dirt and smoke up a creeky staircase ready to put their creations on tape.

Sounds Like: This record could well be called the soundtrack to a deteriorating American landscape. Welcome the Plague Year's debut full length is 11 tracks of graceful brutality dispersed over 50 minutes . Expanding on the foundation laid by their previous bands, WTPY introduce new elements to a horrifically heavy sound base in crafting more texturally developed songs. The Plague Year travel seemlessly from one end of the volume scale to the other with both urgency and restraint all the while harnessing the familiar feelings of abandonment and hope. Layers of pummeling rythyms, driving guitars, moody melodies, and scathing vocal tantrums integrate with quiet and sometimes sparse soundscape to make this a powerful and truely unique record.
