Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fronted by primary songwriter John Watts, the debut release 'Word Salad' combines nervous, angular guitar lines with distinct reggae-inflected rhythms. The lyrical content heavily explores themes of psychological distress, anxiety, and urban paranoia that defined the era's post-punk narratives.
