Understanding one's limitations and working to transcend them is a path to progress. Vancouver's NEEDS are back with their sophomore album of File Under: Music, Limitations, taking all of the concerns that come with a second offering and turning them into a hardcore blast of self-reflection. It's an album that is equal parts personal, political and poetic without sacrificing the unrelenting, distorted, angry guitar rock that put them on the map. Recorded at Rain City Studios with Jesse Gander (Baptists, Japandroids, ANCIIENTS), Limitations takes their diverse set of influences (ranging from Metz to Protomartyr, Pissed Jeans to Nation of Ulysses) and filters them through their furious sound machine, resulting in a punishing yet coherent whole that manages to find the balance between the thoughtful lyrics of vocalist Sean Orr and the insane antics that make up their live show.

Press Quotes

Thank god for post-ironic bands who appreciate the absurdity of what they're doing, bands like Vancouver's NEEDS.

     —Noisey

There's something invigorating about this band that's difficult to convey without listening to them,it's a genuineness that most punk bands have abandoned today. Needs does their thing and ends up with a sound that's as exciting and energetic as it is dep

     —Vice

'I love this band. For its chaotic, full-throttle rock. For its world view -- a mix of sweet idealism and brooding cynicism -- and for its self-deprecating sense of humor.

     —Robin Hilton, NPR
