Regarded as one of the most intense live acts in Texas, THE KIRBY garnered a strong following locally and nationally not only with their performance but also with their musical technicality while doing so. Never finishing a song with the same melody, they progressed musically and compose multiple lines to create intricate melodies. Melding complex math pop with the fire of hardcore and the sincerity of indie rock, they casted a new mold in the face of all that was banal in modern music.

THE KIRBY later changed their name to WIDOWS & ORPHANS.
