About

Augment is a fierce hardcore band hailing from the South Side of Chicago. Deeply rooted in their Chicano heritage, the group channels raw energy and social commentary into powerful, aggressive music. Their sound is characterized by heavy groove riffs and beatdown-style 2-step drums, often compared to bands like Bayway and Queensway. Augment uses their platform to address themes of identity, immigration, and social justice, gaining a following in the Midwest underground scene through socially charged releases like 'Chicano' and 'Chinga la Migra.' They are frequently active in the Milwaukee and Madison DIY circuits.
