Born from a journey of overcoming abuse, disability, and guardianship battles, their sound blends raw, introspective lyrics with catchy melodies and homegrown production. 

Exploring themes of resilience, non-binary identity, disability rights, and societal escape, Pain Waves delivers tracks that hit hard and heal.
