Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a rapid, feverish session during the middle of the night, this Chicago indie rock staple captures the incredibly raw, live energy of the band. Rick Rizzo's frenetic guitar solos and ragged vocal interplay with Janet Beveridge Bean laid critical groundwork for the explosive nineties alt-country and indie-rock movements.
