Career
The band was formed in 2022. Their name is derived of the Bible passage Isaiah 1:16-17,[4] which says, "Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow."[5]
On February 18, 2022, Plead the Widow's Cause released their independent debut studio album, Pain Split, to CD, LP, digital download, and streaming formats.[4][6][7] In 2024, they released an acoustic extended play of Pain Split.[8] On March 7, 2025, the band released their second independent studio album, Silver Glass Stare, on CD, digital download, and streaming formats.[9][10][11]
