After several years of toiling in the Charlotte, NC indie scene, Colton recruited a band of friends to flesh out the songs. As they played together, the original concept began to fade in favor of quiet-loud dynamics and emotive onstage performance. The band eventually found footing in 2022 with the release of their untitled debut EP, purging the last of the singer-songwriter tracks, alongside newer, more aggressive ideas, with the final track “Marigold” hinting at sounds and themes to come.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn early 2024, instruments were traded and the lineup solidified: Lenny Muckle on bass\/synth, Vince D’Ambrosio on drums, Ryan Halberg on guitar\/synth, and Colton on guitar\/vocals.

Piercing guitars, frenetic bass and chaotic drums pulse under layered unsettling synth pads and desperate, throaty vocals. At their apex, distorted walls of sound finally crash and from the dust emerge plaintive and melancholy instrumental sections.The resulting sound pays homage to the progenitors of post-hardcore while resisting the traps of nostalgia. Layaway Plot finds the band vulnerable, angry, sardonic, and at times defeated. But never without hope.
