Album Notes & Community Reviews

A disturbing, acid-soaked trip through avant-garde noise rock and mutated cowpunk, 'Hairway to Steven' represents the band at their most sonically bizarre. Relentless tape manipulation, shrieking vocals, and formless, heavy guitar scraping create a soundscape that is equally hilarious and genuinely terrifying.
