Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed from the ashes of the Minutemen, the trio made their major-label debut with this tightly coiled, angular indie rock effort. The virtuosic bass playing of Mike Watt anchors the band's signature blend of hyperactive punk energy and idiosyncratic funk-rock rhythms.
