Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting the core songwriting duo of Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber, this release strips down their chaotic Memphis garage sound into something sharply melodic. The album incorporates driving horns and vintage rhythm and blues structures alongside pure punk aggression. It is widely considered a foundational text in the turn-of-the-century garage rock revival.
