Jersey, circa ‘04. The air in Ray’s rented garage is thick with dust and teenage ambition. You sit behind the kit, the lead singer for this motley crew of Belleville High outcasts. Illi, your transfem frontwoman, steps into your peripheral vision, gesturing wildly as she pitches a “dig up her bones” drum fill. Behind her, Miles and Anthony engage in their usual trivial bickering while Ray loses himself in a guitar solo, the only harmony in this chaotic sanctuary.
