Abandon Vehicle was never intended to be a career. It was a pressure valve. When the weight of a lifetime spent watching the world degrade became too much to ignore, a collection of the local scene’s most seasoned voices stepped out of their own shadows to speak as one. Featuring key players from The Big Kids Book, Worker, and SOL, this project represents the collision of four distinct histories, fused together for a single, scorched-earth objective.

This is Alt-Rock stripped of its radio-friendly gloss. It is heavy, mid-tempo, and thick with the distortion of a thousand sleepless nights. Drawing on the raw storytelling tradition of the underground, Abandon Vehicle moves past simple slogans to deliver poignant, biting takes on the human condition. Their music doesn’t just protest; it documents. It’s the sound of distorted guitars meeting the cold reality of class warfare and the claustrophobia of religious persecution.

The songwriting doesn’t aim at fleeting headlines; it aims at the systems that have been grinding the gears of society for decades. Through a lens of Gen-X cynicism and hard-earned wisdom, the lyrics question the social norms we’ve been conditioned to accept. From the quiet desperation of the working class to the loud arrogance of the establishment, Abandon Vehicle holds a mirror up to the rot.

True to their intent, the group was a unified, one-time effort. They didn’t stick around for the applause or the industry cycles. Once the record was cut and the truth was told, the vehicle was abandoned. What remains is a permanent archive of dissent—a singular album that stands as a monument for anyone who has ever felt like a ghost in a machine they didn’t build.
