Invalids is an American math rock outfit known for their intricate melodies and complex time signatures, which they seamlessly blend with a raw, emotive energy. The project began as a solo endeavor by Pete Davis of Princeton, New Jersey, who started by uploading demos to the internet. Davis initially handled the majority of the instrumentation and composition; however, the project has since evolved to include additional musicians during live performances or while recording. Their discography showcases the band's technical prowess, as evident in full-length albums like "Eunoia" and "Strengths," with both receiving instrumental versions that highlight the band's compositional intricacies.

The band has carved out a niche for themselves within the DIY and indie music scenes, with a dedicated fanbase attracted to their unique blend of precision and passion. Invalids' consistent release of both vocal and instrumental versions of their work, such as on the "Fulfillment EP," demonstrates a commitment to accessibility, allowing fans to appreciate both the lyrical content and the musicianship within their complex arrangements. Their live sessions, such as "Invalids on Audiotree Live," capture the dynamic and engaging nature of their performances, solidifying their reputation as a band that must be both heard and seen to be fully appreciated.
