THE SCENE - a documentary album about the warez underground.

Not about piracy. About a culture built on anonymity and honor, where kids raced software releases across continents for nothing but prestige. Where ASCII art was identity. Where profit was for sellouts.

Then the FBI came.

From golden age to federal indictment - the crackers, couriers, and siteops who built an underground empire, and what happened when the game turned real.

Featuring the sound of the scene itself - keygen music, tracker vibes, chiptune aesthetics pushed into modern production.

All lyrics sourced from DOJ press releases, court documents, and published interviews.
