Wear Your Wounds

WEAR YOUR WOUNDS is the brainchild of Jacob Bannon, best known as the ferocious frontman of Converge. In contrast to the unrelenting aggression of his main project, WEAR YOUR WOUNDS sees Bannon exploring a more introspective and nuanced side of his musical persona.

The music of WEAR YOUR WOUNDS is a brooding sonic tapestry that weaves together elements of post-rock, ambient, and shoegaze, creating a dark and haunting soundscape that is as haunting as it is beautiful. Bannon's lyrics delve deep into themes of loss, heartbreak, and existential despair, drawing the listener into a world of emotional turmoil and introspection.

With a rotating cast of collaborators that includes members of The Red Chord, Cave In, and Doomriders, WEAR YOUR WOUNDS is more than just a side project for Bannon-it's a fully realized musical entity in its own right. The band's live performances are a cathartic experience, with Bannon's raw and emotive vocals laying bare his innermost thoughts and feelings.

In a music scene that often values aggression and intensity above all else, WEAR YOUR WOUNDS offers a refreshing counterpoint, reminding us that vulnerability and introspection can be just as powerful as sheer brute force. With their latest album, "Rust on the Gates of Heaven," WEAR YOUR WOUNDS continue to push the boundaries of what heavy music can be, proving that sometimes the most powerful emotions are the ones that linger in the shadows.
