Album Notes & Community Reviews

Clocking in at less than 18 minutes across 14 tracks, 'Back From Samoa' is a pinnacle of early California hardcore defined by unrelenting speeds and juvenile, highly provocative satire. Its gleeful disregard for political correctness alienated them from many punk contemporaries but solidified a legacy as foundational pioneers of bratty punk rock nihilism.
