Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by Jeff 'Monoman' Conolly, the Boston-based outfit delivered a raucous, organ-driven masterclass in 1960s garage rock revivalism. Bypassing the glossy production trends of the decade, the record captures the raw, sweat-soaked energy of their live performances. It became a highly revered foundational text for the subsequent garage and primitive rock resurgences in the 90s.
