Loon isn't a polite evolution. It's a gut punch. After a decade of building

one of the American heavy underground's most devoted fanbases — through five

albums and stages shared with Khemmis, King Buffalo, Unsane, and Emma Ruth

Rundle — ABRAMS have made the record that demands your attention. Zach

unpacks every inch of it.

🎸 What's inside this episode:

— The sonic fury behind Loon and why it hits harder than anything ABRAMS

has made before

— How the band evolved from post-hardcore aggression to the melodic,

crushing heavy rock they play today

— Zach's musical DNA: Fugazi, Seattle grunge, Soundgarden, Queens of the

Stone Age, Mark Lanegan, At the Drive-In, Mars Volta & A Perfect Circle

— His vocal transformation from screaming to the powerhouse clean singing

on Loon

— How COVID changed ABRAMS' writing process forever

— Recording 14–15 songs in 14 days — and the tough cuts that didn't make

the album

— Gear deep dive: solid-state amp rigs, Ampeg Venture bass, and the tones

behind the wall of sound

— The Denver heavy music scene and why it's one of the best underground

communities in the US

— Blues Funeral Recordings and why it was the right home for this band

— ABRAMS' first-ever European dates, headlined by DesertFest London (May

2026), plus US tour plans

If you're into Torche, Cave In, Converge, Hum, Quicksand, Mastodon, or

Baroness — ABRAMS belong at the top of your playlist. Loon is the record

that changes the conversation.
