Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their reign as stalwarts of the independent punk scene, the California veterans deliver a rapid-fire collection of heavily sarcastic and politically charged anthems. Fat Mike's songwriting heavily critiques consumerism and substance abuse while maintaining the band's fiercely melodic, high-speed execution. It stands as their final release on the Epitaph label before moving entirely to their own imprint.
