Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut full-length from the idiosyncratic New York group introduces their bizarre, highly theatrical brand of post-hardcore. Released on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label, the record fuses abrasive punk energy with dark, absurdist humor and unconventional instrumentation like brass and banjo. The chaotic, quirky approach established them as unique provocateurs within the American alternative underground.
