Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Butch Vig, this debut full-length captures the ferocious, unhinged energy of the Michigan quartet. John Brannon's terrifying, throat-shredding vocals cut through dense, blues-inflected noise rock riffs, creating an atmosphere of manic desperation. It is a cornerstone of the late-80s Midwestern post-hardcore underground.
