Doubt, turned all the way up
National Acrobats wrote The Disbelief after their van died halfway through a tour that was already losing money — then kept driving. It is a record about refusing to quit: nine lean heavy-rock songs with sockets for hooks and choruses built for shouting back.
Cut in nine days with the faders barely moving, it remains the fastest-selling Tidewire title on vinyl — the second pressing sold out before the band made it home.

“Nine songs, zero fat — the sound of a band outrunning its own bad luck.”
