Uniform

Uniform

Since their inception over a decade ago, Uniform has pushed its work in all kinds of directions, unafraid of dismantling what they built and starting again. Their explorations have always come from a natural bent to keep on trying and to realize their ideas more purely each time, often bringing the darkest of nightmares into life in the process. Intimidatingly prolific, the band continues to move like a shark, never stopping for fear of creative death.

In 2015, Uniform’s debut LP Perfect World  was released on 12XU in the States and ALTER abroad. Following its success they migrated to Sacred Bones, where the critically-acclaimed Wake in Fright (2017) was followed by The Long Walk (2018), further cementing their place at the vanguard of sonic entropy. 

In the midst of a relentless touring schedule, they joined forces with apocalyptic brethren The Body for a pair of collaborative albums – Mental Wounds Not Healing (2018) and Everything That Dies Someday Comes Back (2019) – as well as the live release, Live at the End of the World (2020). 

The band took a colossal step forward with their fourth full-length, Shame (2020). Full of neck-snapping riffs fueled by incendiary distortion and spiteful screams dancing along a percussive avalanche, the album catalogs the depths of existential dread through unbroken cycles of vice and violence. 

In 2023, Uniform teamed up with chameleonic doom icons Boris for the collaborative full-length, Bright New Disease. A tidal wave of scathing vocals, ferocious riffs, and psychedelic soundscapes, the album expertly skirts elements of classic Bay Area thrash, Japanese hardcore, and even Bowie-inspired glam.

2024 sees the band unleash what is arguably the apex of their body of work. American Standard is a journey of visceral discomfort and brutal honesty channeled through a portrait of sickness and the thrilling transcendence it can bring. Presented alongside a two-drummer rhythmic onslaught and deceptively melodic songcraft, it is Uniform’s most ambitious album to date. Initially released on tape as a companion piece to American Standard, Nightmare City is now available digitally due to overwhelming demand!

From their early days as a chaotic two-piece to their current status as multi-faceted noise veterans with an immense body of work, Uniform have reached a creative point where their aim is entirely personal. As the sonic boundaries have expanded, the band have stuck the knife in deeper.

“I’m done with creating surface-level art,” says frontman Michael Berdan. “If it doesn’t kill me a little bit, there’s no point committing to it.”
