Boston’s Unseemlier released their debut album, I Have a Screw Loose, Somewhere, on June 13 on Sell The Heart Records. Clocking in at 23 minutes, the album is a heavy emo/soft punk document written in the aftermath of frontman Mike Assatly’s return to Massachusetts after nearly a decade in California.

Founded in the fall of 2023, Unseemlier were born of emo nostalgia and a shared passion for raw, unapologetic music. Childhood friends Mike Assatly, Chris Pina, and Kevin Merriam quickly wrote their first tape and soon after its release recruited Andrea Neuenfeldt for bass and vocal duties. The album quickly rips through themes of addiction and loss, growing up in a suburban bubble, and battling to look at the world in a positive light.

The band’s video for ‘Power Chord Career Criminal’ was filmed by Christine Atturio and Nick Bowen, and edited by Atturio. Watch it below.
