Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their long evolution from first-wave British punk, the band delivers a chaotic, heavily politicized fusion of post-punk and American roots music. The ramshackle, almost apocalyptic tone of the record solidified their status as highly influential cult favorites in the alternative country scene.
