Album Notes & Community Reviews

Erupting from the Austin underground, this debut establishes the trio's incredibly abrasive, drug-fueled take on heavy rock. 'Icing' utilizes punishing, blown-out bass frequencies, wildly dissonant guitar shrieks, and buried, unhinged vocal squeals. It stands as a notoriously hostile document of the Texan noise rock scene, predating their later cult-classic masterpieces.
