Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a distinct shift in tone for the group, 'Sweating the Plague' is characterized by a significantly heavier, darker sonic landscape. Produced with a focus on muscular hard rock and psychedelic textures, the album highlights the formidable guitar interplay of Doug Gillard and Bobby Bare Jr., adding an aggressive edge to their indie rock foundation.
