Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Boston garage rock stalwarts returned with a vibrant, Farfisa organ-driven homage to 1960s beat music. The album eschews modern production trends in favor of authentic, retro-fuzz guitar tones and raw, energetic vocal performances. It firmly maintained the band's status as preeminent purveyors of the American garage rock revival.
