Album Notes & Community Reviews

Hailing from the fertile Southern California punk scene, the Cerritos quartet unleashed a debut full-length that perfectly balances melodic pop sensibilities with furious hardcore aggression. 'Fear of Life' is propelled by Mike Magrann's distinctively desperate vocals and razor-sharp guitar hooks, addressing suburban alienation with relentless energy. It stands as a pivotal, highly influential document of early 80s American punk rock.
