The Ills are an instrumental rock band blending post-rock, shoegaze, math-rock and prog-rock into an intense, atmospheric sound. Ethereal and cinematic one moment, dark and chaotic the next, they are best known for their powerful live performances—where technical precision meets raw emotion, punk energy and near-hardcore drive.
Praised by KEXP, BBC Radio, Clash and others, The Ills are often mentioned alongside some of the best bands in the genre, while still keeping a sound that’s clearly their own.
