Duration: 3 min 49 s
Description: A compilation of tracks from some of Spokane's best DIY indie/punk bands.

On his sophomore album, "As It Was, As We Were", Hayes Noble continues to refine his brand of fuzzed out punk rock, with increasingly dynamic songwriting. Recorded and mixed by Luke Tweedy (William Elliott Whitmore, Appleseed Cast, Erase Errata), and mastered by Carl Saff, "As It Was, As We Were" captures the nineteen-year-old's talent for fusing melodious noise with timeless coming-of-age lyrics. Sheets of feedback collide with driving beats and abrasive hooks. Blurred vocals move from subdued delivery to impassioned shouts, compounding the youthful sincerity. Recorded two months after his high school graduation, "As It Was, As We Were" is the story of hot summer nights, first loves, and teenage desolation in the driftless hills surrounding the upper Mississippi. It’s the realization that you’re out of step with the weekend cowboys and keg party rollers, just trying to find some other outcasts and weirdos in a town the size of a dinner plate. Hayes presents us with a Gen Z snapshot of leaving home, and the suffocating bleakness glimpsed on the horizon. With artwork by Mike Scheer (Built to Spill, Treepeople) "As It Was, As We Were" continues Noble's trajectory as an emerging talent in a new generation of guitar-driven indie rockers.
