$Young Widows w\/ Cherubs & Porcelain$

Young Widows are a Louisville, Kentucky-based band whose sound has evolved from angular post-hardcore to moody, atmospheric rock influenced by post-punk and gothic folk. The group was founded in 2006 by former members of post-hardcore group , and their debut album Settle Down City maintained elements of that group's sound, but was less metallic and closer to noise-rock groups like and . The group continued to refine their sound, gradually slowing down and spacing out while maintaining a sense of brooding aggression on subsequent albums like 2011's In and Out of Youth and Lightness and 2014's Easy Pain.
Though singer Steve Sindoni amicably parted ways with Louisville, Kentucky's in December 2005, the remaining members -- guitarist Evan Patterson, bassist Nick Thieneman, and drummer Geoff Paton -- weren't yet ready to throw in the towel. They pressed on and chose not to replace Sindoni, with Patterson picking up the main vocal duties. The trio entered the studio the following April with intentions to record 's second album. But when the resulting music was not quite the metallic hardcore aggression of their past, the guys consequently decided to retire and its accompanying discography altogether, forging ahead instead with a new identity, sound, and name: Young Widows.
