Ben Quad release Wisher
Ben Quad released Wisher through Pure Noise Records on November 14, 2025. The Oklahoma band's full-length debut contains eleven songs and follows the momentum of Ephemera, the heavier 2024 EP that widened the band's emotional and rhythmic range.
Wisher guest features
The official release page lists guests from across the current emo and adjacent scene: Karly Hartzman of Wednesday, Arm's Length, Saturdays At Your Place, Riley!, and Bruiser Wolf. The names make sense together. Ben Quad's version of the genre is technical, communal, and alert to the wider network around it.
Ben Quad Wisher tracklist
Wisher includes What Fer?, It's Just A Title, Very Big In Sheboygan, Did You Decide To Skip Arts And Crafts?, Classic Case Of The Mondays, Hinge, Bad Things Happen To Good People, I Hate Cursive And I Hate All Of You, You Say I'm A Good Friend, You Were The First To Say Sorry, and All My Friends.
Where to start
Start with the singles, then listen front to back. Ben Quad are a useful modern entry point for players who came to emo through interlocking guitars and stayed for the sense that a room can still become a community.
