Boy, some people had some pretty bad days this past week, huh? From Between The Buried and Me having to make a switch at guitar following Dustie Waring’s rape allegations to a random Sleep Token vacating their bowels during a show, a whole lot of bad shit happened.

New York’s White Hills first came to my attention on a show with doom purveyors Telekinetic Yeti. Though I’d never heard a recorded song of theirs, their loud-as-fuck performance despite the fact that they were a duo playing inside of a diner instantly made me a fan.

“Thoughts and Prayers.” Everyone today knows the phrase: it’s uttered after mass shootings, when someone is diagnosed with a severe illness, natural disasters and acts of God. As you can probably extrapolate, those thoughts and prayers don’t do a whole lot and the words often come across as patronizing. Those frustrations exploded in the form
