Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving amidst shifting tides in the Los Angeles hardcore scene, this third studio album found the famously snotty ensemble refining their aggressive attack with slightly tighter, more melodic production. 'Golden Shower of Hits' heavily satirizes pop culture and suburban decay, climaxing with a famously irreverent, high-speed medley of 1970s soft-rock standards. The furiously paced, deeply cynical record remains a beloved staple of the burgeoning California skate punk movement.
