Product Description
Upward Heroic Motive is an unexpected treat. Reminiscent of '90s post-punk icons Drive Like Jehu minus the math, Roué are relentless in assailing their instruments and your ears in turn. Borrowing tricks from '90s hardcore and post-punk, along with occasional straight-up rock riffs, the Cleveland, Ohio quartet creates an atomically charged and wholly unstable brand of rock. If it doesn't make your head explode, it'll rock you in that slightly off-kilter fashion that makes you want to throw your body around without the slightest concern for where you'll end up
