About UNWELL

UNWELL’s music speaks equally to the barricade and the back row, balancing crushing emotion and buoyant theatricality. On their Pure Noise debut, ALLEGORIA, the Detroit quartet meld muscular alt-rock, pop-punk vibrancy and propulsive hardcore into a multisensory escapist experience, dramatic storytelling that never loses sight of the rawest emotions. It’s a dichotomy that brings the album to life, melding quiet introspection with larger-than-life moments. It’s the sort of duality that helps UNWELL weave their way past well-worn genre tropes into a sound that’s all their own, one that’s brought the band rave reviews on live stages alongside the likes of The Used , The Amity Affliction and Broadside Allegoria’s setting, the mystic realm of the same name, is depicted in striking visuals throughout the album’s artwork with medieval futurism: Gothic castles, cascading waterfalls and opulent thrones under the vast expanse of the universe. All this world-building, both musical and visual, swirls to a synesthesic, cinematic story told in real time: not an escape from reality but rather a refracted version of it, where everyday pain and triumph are elevated to mythic proportions and grand ambitions reverberate amongst a starry sky. It’s a land of make-believe that’s helped UNWELL tell their truest stories as artists, carving out a space for even deeper exploration ahead and leaving the gates open for whatever comes next.
