Album Notes & Community Reviews

Hailing from Long Island, the group's initial full-length offering features a raw, aggressive synthesis of street-level garage attitudes and burgeoning heavy amplification. The dual-guitar attack and abrasive vocal delivery prefigure the gritty, blue-collar aesthetic that would later define the East Coast hard rock circuit.
