Their second full-length for Hopeless Records doubles down on that tension between big, radio-ready hooks and real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"Like a Weapon\" sets the tone with chugging guitars and a chorus built for festival crowds. The title track \"Prepare For Despair\" leans into the darkness its name promises, \"Recover\" offers a moment of hard-won hope, and \"Dark Days\" brings in Jeris Johnson, whose genre-blurring style suits the record's moodier corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLundin's voice is the anchor throughout, switching from clean, anthemic melodies to raw-throated screams without losing the thread, while the production keeps everything punchy and huge, with guitars stacked high and drums that hit like a fist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a record for anyone who grew up on pop-punk and never quite stopped needing something louder, and it shows a young band growing into their own sound with real confidence and a clear sense of where they want to go next.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307806335281,"sku":"790692678310","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Point_North-Prepare_For_Despair_Green.jpg?v=1793815985","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/point-north-prepare-for-despair-green","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
