Following the departure of founding vocalist, Jesse Zaraska, the band rebounded in style by finding the perfect replacement in Karl Schubach. MISERY SIGNALS perfectly combine metal rhythms and guitar lines with the brutality of hardcore punk but also quiet and melodic sections to break up the aggression. In addition to the band's watermark of quality, they could deliver the songs live in spades! Captivating audiences with their musicianship but also capable of starting a maelstrom of pit activity, the band became a big live draw.
