The group reformed in 2010 and have since made two highly idiosyncratic and acclaimed albums.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

Deathrock that perfectly balances the muscular power of its rhythm section with intricate, melodic guitar.

Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent.
