About the track, guitarist and vocalist Zach Amster comments: “Last Nail’ was the very last song we finished before heading into the studio.. It’s one of our more poppy songs we’ve written and sounds like the best parts of an early 00’s joyride.”
With American idealism and societal unity in flames, Abrams’ ethereal ambiance has been permeated by vibrating, hair-trigger fury. 2024’s soaring and driving “Blue City” was a record full of arresting, nostalgic textures. This is no longer the world of that album, as shown with their blistering latest singles “Glass House” and “White Walls.”
The grinding hopelessness and chaos of these times have infused them with shattering intensity. Urgent and abrasive, their new album “Loon” is acerbic, fed up, and riddled with pulverizing fire. Wistful melodies warp into dissonance and aggression. Crystalline beauty is inhabited by bitterness and rage.Their instinctive hooks aren’t gone, and hopeful moments do shine intermittently through. But it’s clear that Abrams, like a lot of us, are pissed off. Desperate and seething, thisis an irresistible, frenzied purge from a band refusing to give, finding its way in music libraries next to Converge, Torche, Cave In, Narrow Head and Basement.

Abrams blast forth a cathartic mix of driving rhythms, soaring vocals and dreamy ambiance. Fusing melody and dissonance, guitarist/vocalist Zach Amster, bassist/vocalist Taylor Iversen, drummer Ryan DeWitt and guitarist Graham Zander wield elements of heavy rock, shoegaze, grunge and hardcore with ease and fluency, crafting a blend that’s bittersweet and familiar while urgently gazing forward.
The Denver band’s captivating approach finds them sharing terrain with the likes of Torche, Cave In and Converge, while their command of chunky, hooky riffs recalls Alt-Rock icons Hum and Quicksand, though this swirling amalgam of influences isn’t the totality of Abrams. Having shared the stage with Dozer, Unsane, KEN mode, King Buffalo, Khemmis and Emma Ruth Rundle, the foursome has always strived to deliver memorable live shows.
A spearhead of the Denver rock scene, Abrams joined the ranks of tastemaker label Blues Funeral Recordings in 2024 for the release of their cornerstone album “Blue City.” Recorded and produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge, High On Fire), it saw their genre-defying heaviness and perfect melodic songcraft meld seamlessly. Their new album “Loon” will arrive on April 17, 2026 on Blues Funeral Recordings.
