Minus Numbers

Formed on the cusp of the pandemic in San Francisco, Minus Numbers is rooted in the post-hardcore landscape of the '90s but unburdened by genre and era. Instead, they carve a new path, one where heaviness becomes both an anchor and release, and every note and lyric carries the weight of stories once left unspoken. Reid Black (bass), Michael Garceau (vocals), Randy Johnson (guitar), and Dennis Remsing (drums) bring a collective history to the table, three of them hailing from the influential Orange County post-hardcore outfit Drift Again.

Migrating from Southern California to the Bay Area, these musicians have channeled the shift in geography and time into a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. Their music is an intricate dance between heavy riffs and deep grooves, anchored by Garceau's starkly vulnerable vocals that trace an infinite circle around old wounds—pain contained but never forgotten.

Their debut album unfolds like a meticulously ordered map of raw emotion. There is a dark comfort in the way yearning and anger are mathematically arranged—like pieces of a puzzle straining for alignment that never quite fits. It’s music that lingers in the delicate space between tension and release, inviting listeners to get lost in its rhythms and discover something of themselves in its haunting echoes.
