Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting away from the relentless negativity of early American hardcore, the Nevada outfit championed a highly influential ethos of 'Positive Youth' with this landmark debut. The fast, furiously played tracks incorporate massive, melodic sing-along choruses that directly inspired the ensuing youth crew subculture. It stands as a foundational text for the development of both melodic hardcore and pop-punk.
