Spite House "Desertion"

LP - $18.15
STREET DATE: 09/12/25
CAT#: PNE447
LABEL: Pure Noise Records

This record is the band’s second full-length, following up their self-titled released by New Morality Zine in 2022. This album continues to face head-on the topics of loss, grief, and vulnerability but from a different angle—one where past experiences are not just viewed as instances that shape identity but as situations that are a part of identity and allow life lessons to be learned. Desertion is post-hardcore at its most visceral and moving, a concept album that explores these themes so vulnerably and unsparingly that it’s sure to inspire catharsis and connection.
