After critical success from their self-titled debut and being named to the News & Observer’s Great 8 in 2008, the quintet signed on with Portland, Oregon label Greyday Records in 2009 to release a double EP and, in September, their long-awaited sophomore LP.
Horror Vacui was unleashed Sept. 28 and shows a band that has grown into itself and embraced the ethos of power pop.
“Horror Vacui pushes I Was Totally Destroying It beyond the bounds of a return to innocence and youth, into the territory of a mature band capable of crafting a great record,” Grayson Currin with Independent Weekly wrote. “Compositionally smarter and structurally more diverse than you might’ve imagined, I Was Totally Destroying It bests their past on Horror Vacui by wrapping willful growth into irrepressible pop songs.”
Following the release of the album, IWTDI hit the road for a guerrilla trip through America’s heartland that landed the band with a side swiped van and a hefty repair bill. Regardless, the band carried on with its tour without missing a beat — exhibiting an ethic that has undoubtedly carried the band where it is today.
