Album Notes & Community Reviews

Incorporating saxophone into their deliberately primitive, untutored approach to punk rock, the Fair brothers pushed their chaotic noise-pop into even harsher territories on 'Loud'. The record's completely unhinged guitar scraping and frenzied energy epitomized a defiant anti-musicianship ethos that deeply impacted the American underground.
