"2053" is the first full length album by the best hardcore band in Portland, OR.

'2053' is the first full length album by the hardcore band Help, released in 2022 on Nadine Records. 10 songs exploring themes of anxiety, inequality, religious scorn, exhaustion and hope through a charged swirl of stabbing guitar lines, thunderous low end, and frantic bursts of barking vocals. Help was voted 'Best Band in Portland' in 2019, and supported Red Fang on recent US and Canadian tours. Fronted by former Portugal. The Man member, Ryan Neighbors, Help is a wildly different beast; conjuring the unease of the zeitgeist with a political edge that feels personal. The trio of Portland music stalwarts recorded '2053' at The Map Room studio with producer Sonny DiPerri (Animal Collective, Protomartyr, Emma Ruth Rundle) whose unblinking production captures the band's urgency without taming their ferocity. '2053' channels the sound of our collective disillusionment and angst while simultaneously transmuting it into collective catharsis.
